Buyers — Dobby

The Buying Process

Every deal is unique and has exceptions. I will be with you every step of the way. Below is a rough outline of the buying process.

Step 1. Consultation

We will meet to identify your desired features, locations, price range, and timeline.

Step 2. Financing

I will connect you with quality lenders for pre approval.

Step 3. Home Search

We will tour available homes.

Step 4. Make an Offer

We will submit your best offer with 1% earnest money deposit.

Step 5. Offer Accepted!

Congratulations! You’re under contract. Now the loan will be submitted, and the closing costs estimated.

Step 6. Home Inspection

I will connect you with quality Home Inspectors to evaluate the property. An inspection is usually around $500 buyer’s cost.

Step 7. Repair/ Replacement Resolution

Depending on the results of the home inspection, there may be repairs that need to be made/ amendments to the agreement. I will be there to negotiate these terms on your behalf.

Step 8. Obtain Homeowners Insurance

I will connect you with quality Insurers, so that you can choose what plan works best for you.

Step 9. Appraisal

A very important step. An appraiser will be hired to determine the value of the property. Typically costing around $500, this is a buyer’s expense.

Step 10. Final Loan Approval

Depending on the results of the Appraisal, the Lender may approve or deny financing. When the Loan is approved, a closing is scheduled with the Title Company!
