We know you are busy and sometimes you don’t want to talk on the phone with a real person to get the answers you need. That’s why I am simply writing out the steps that typically happen when going through the homebuying process. There’s not a lot of fluff or lengthy explanations but hopefully it’ll get your research started on the right foot.
Step 1: Determine your budget
Step 2: Get pre-approved for a mortgage
Step 3: Find a real estate agent
Step 4: Start house hunting
Step 5: Make an offer
Step 6: Get a home inspection
Step 7: Close the deal
Remember, buying a home can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions. First, there's the excitement of looking at all the pretty houses online and imagining what life would be like in them. Then, there's the stress of figuring out how much you can actually afford and getting pre-approved for a mortgage. When you finally start house hunting, it's a mix of feeling hopeful and anxious - will you ever find the perfect place? And when you do find a house you love, there's that rush of adrenaline as you make an offer and cross your fingers that the seller accepts.
But it's not all rainbows and butterflies - you'll also have to deal with the nerve-wracking home inspection, which can uncover all sorts of problems you never even thought to consider. And let's not forget about the paperwork - it feels like you're signing your life away! But when all is said and done, and you're holding the keys to your very own house, it's the best feeling in the world. Like, you can finally say goodbye to your annoying landlord and decorate however you want! It's definitely a journey, but it's so worth it in the end.
