Understanding the process reaching YOUR goals!

Step 1: Decide on a comfortable budget

Starting this process online is common, however it is easy to forget to factor in money you’ll need for a down payment, closing costs, fees (such as fees for the title agency, appraisal, inspection, etc.) or even furniture. You don’t necessarily need to put 20 percent down… There are loans available with little to no down payment. A good lender can help you understand all of this, so step 2 is often also good to combine with step 1.

Step 2: Connect with a Reputable Lender

An experienced home loan expert can help you understand all your loan options, closing costs and other fees. IN ARIZONA we cannot make an offer on a home without an Arizona Pre-Qualification Form so this step is extremely important. Working with the right lender, who has the best options is key to obtaining the right loan for your situation. Additionally we can connect you with a lender that has served many of our clients and even has free credit services to help put you in position to get the best terms on your loan.

Step 3: Connect with an Experienced Real Estate Agent

While we certainly want you to work with us at The Drew Team, it is very important to find an agent that you feel comfortable with. Additionally they should be able to prove experience and expertise, this is the largest financial investment you are likely to make! Do they know the area you are interested in? Are they experienced in negotiation & closing homes in a competitive market? Will they be responsive to YOUR wants, needs and goals?

Step 4: Finding the Right Home

A list is great, but consider HOW you will use the home. THEN list what you’ll need to have in the house, like bedrooms, bathrooms and how much space you require. Where do you spend the most time? What about neighborhood, do you need to be near anything specific, is the yard important? Are children, pets or hobbies a consideration? How long to you plan to be in this home? BE SURE your agent understands all of this!

Step 5: Making an Offer on the Right Home

When you find the right home it is time to make an offer! Recently if you find the right home and wait, it will likely sell. Locally the overall market has seen homes selling in less than 90 days and for about 98% of list price, but markets change over time… so this becomes the moment that the right agent makes a big difference, their expertise should be result in great advice in how to achieve the goal which is to actually get you the best terms possible while securing the right home!
