Step 4: Make an Offer
Once we’ve found a home you love, the next step is deciding on a price. It’s important to remember that a home is an investment. As your trusted Realtor we can give you information on other properties in the neighborhood to help you ensure you make an informed decision when it comes to price.

Some things to consider when deciding on the best price point are:
1.List price – Start with the price point that the home is listed at. This will give you a base when looking at the home’s value.
2.Market Analysis – Comparable home values in the neighborhood to help you decide if the price point is on par.
3.Improvements – We can give you a list of improvements made to the home and help you determine its market value.

 

​

Step 5: Perform Due Diligence
Knowing what work has and has not been done to your home is important information to have in the buying process. While updates can increase your home value, damages can take money out of your pocket. Your main concern is the possibility of structural damage, which can come from water, shifting ground or poor construction.

Very often a problem appears to be big but can be fixed with very little effort and not a huge budget and vise-versa.

Step 6: Close
Once you’ve determined a price point you’re comfortable with, you’re in the “home” stretch! But, in order to ensure that you don’t put the property purchase at risk, you have a couple responsibilities that you’ll need to keep in mind:
1.Staying in control of your credit and finances – Do not make any large purchases during this time. It’s important to keep your financials steady throughout the buying process. Talk to your financial consultant for guidance.
2.Keeping in touch with your agent and financial consultant – It’s important to stay in constant communication. Be sure to return all phone calls and complete paperwork promptly. Also, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Your team is there to help you!
