preparing to buy 🔑
Buying a home is a significant financial decision that holds both personal and financial benefits. It's crucial to understand the process and be prepared for the purchase even before you begin your search. At The Haven we will consult with you and walk you through every step of the way from choosing a lender to your final walk through.
financing
Before you begin your home search, prepare your finances. Are you paying cash or using a lender? Are you pre-approved? Our agents can refer you to the right lenders to get this essential step started. Sellers will not accept an offer without a pre-approval letter or proof of funds, if paying cash.
choose an agent
It is imperative to choose an agent who has your best interests in mind. Do they have knowledge in the market area? Are they communicative and informative? Are they prompt? And most importantly, do you feel comfortable working with them?
house hunt
When you're ready to start the search, your agent should assist you with sending you prospective homes and setting up home tours until you find "the one." We have the tips to make your offer stand above the rest and help negotiate your terms to get your offer accepted.
under contract
Once your offer has been accepted and you have an EXECUTED contract we journey through inspections, appraisal, and finalizing your lending. This step involves much attention to detail and an agent who is going to stay on top of the transaction and all parties involved.
