Making the choice to buy a property is one of the biggest decisions you can make.
Determining the reasons why you want to buy is your first step in starting this process. Is your previous home too small and you're looking to upgrade in size? Are you interested in expanding your income by purchasing a rental home or business property? Having a clear idea of what motivates you to buy will help you choose the property that best suits your needs and wants.
Before you can start looking at properties, you'll need to secure financing from a mortgage lender if you're not paying in cash. There are several financial documents that will need to be gathered in order to be approved, including but not limited to:
At this stage, your credit score will also play a huge role in determining how much money you can finance and the type of property you'll be able to purchase.
The real estate market changes constantly. A great realtor will always work hard to navigate new trends through training and programs. There are ample training opportunities for agents, so finding a realtor who has taken advantage of these shows they are serious about this industry.
Finding an agent with skills that will benefit you is key. Does he or she implement new strategies during negotiations? Are they great at networking? At marketing? If you're buying a luxury home, is this agent skilled in that area of expertise? Do they have ample knowledge of the area you're buying in?
Buying a property is a complex process that will need to be discussed frequently, so having an agent who excels at communicating is extremely important.

You'll take one last walk through the property to make sure everything is in order and looks the same as when you last viewed it.
You'll sit down with your agent, attorney, financial lender, and other key individuals at closing. Here a settlement agreement that discloses all financial transactions during this process will be signed by you and the seller. If you've received financing, you will need to sign paperwork for your lender. Per your agreement, any funds that need to be dispersed on your end will happen at this time. Once everything is complete, the seller will turn the keys over to you.
