Step-by-Step Guide to the Home Buying Process

Buying a home is an exciting milestone, but understanding the home buying process can make it smoother and more successful. At RE/MAX Home Connections, we guide you through each step, ensuring you are informed and confident. From the initial consultation to closing day, we’re with you every step of the way. Communication is key in finding your ideal home, and we’re here to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

  1. Agency Disclosure – We’ll begin by explaining how we’ll represent you throughout the process. This could include Buyer Agency, Dual Agency, or Seller Subagency. It’s essential that this information is disclosed early to all involved parties.
  2. Pre-qualification – Get prequalified for a loan so you know what price range to look in. Pre-qualification takes just 10-15 minutes and helps us avoid wasting time on homes that might not be affordable.
  3. The Search – Once prequalified, we’ll start looking for homes within your price range. The more details we have about what you’re looking for, the faster we can find the perfect property for you.
  4. The Offer – When we find the right home, we’ll submit an “Offer to Purchase.” This document outlines the terms and conditions of your purchase, letting the seller know you’re serious about buying if they agree to your offer.
  5. Handling the Details – Once the offer is accepted, we’ll handle the behind-the-scenes details like surveys, financing, pest reports, and appraisals. Our job is to ensure everything runs smoothly and stays on track.
  6. The Closing – Once all the details are in order, we’ll schedule a closing date. You’ll sign the final paperwork, and the home will officially be yours. Congratulations, you’re now a homeowner!
  7. After the Sale – After closing, we file the necessary documents with the courthouse to make everything official. Your journey doesn’t end at closing—we’re here to support you even after the sale is complete.
  8. Our Commitment To You – At RE/MAX Home Connections, we remain committed to you even after the sale. We’ll continue to provide guidance and support, ensuring you’re fully satisfied with your new home.
