Before starting your search, evaluating your financial situation and determining an appropriate budget is critical to selecting a property that meets your needs. It is important to consider factors like down payment amounts, closing costs, and monthly mortgage payments.
Involving a lender early in the buying process helps buyers understand upfront how much can be borrowed with a mortgage to purchase a property. Having pre-approval before submitting an offer ensures you are a competitive buyer.
With a budget established and pre-approval in hand, you can begin searching for the home that meets your needs. Using online listings, working with your agent, and attending open houses, you can start looking for your ideal property.
Once you find a home you like, you can work with your agent to determine a fair market value for the property and prepare an offer. At this stage, you should take into account current market conditions and the state of the property.
After a seller accepts your offer, you will typically hire a professional home inspector to thoroughly examine the property and identify any issues or repairs that may need to be addressed before closing.
Your final step in the home selling process involves transferring ownership of the property from the seller, making payment, and signing the necessary paperwork to solidify your transaction.
“ I recently had a great experience with Gary Layne at ProActive Real Estate Services. Gary’s extensive knowledge of Norfolk and the surrounding areas aided tremendously in the listing, selling, and closing processes of my home. With a quick close, we were able to get a ratified contract in 45 days in the middle of January! As with all home buying/selling experiences, there were some items, 25 to be exact, the new buyer wanted us to address prior to closing. Gary and his team were able to handle this in a timely manner, keeping within our agreed upon budget. Gary and the ProActive Real Estate Services team delivered top notch customer service, professionalism and value which made selling my home a seamless process! Overall, I highly recommend them to others for their home buying and selling needs. -Tom McCoy “
