The Process of getting to “Under Contract”

Contact an Agent

The very first step is talking through this process w/ an agent and signing Buyer Agency paperwork, allowing this agent to represent you.

Contact a Lender

We can provide recommendations to trusted lenders.

Your Agent Will Set Up an MLS Search

(3rd party online sites are NOT comprehensive)

Create a List

Give your agent a list of homes you’re interested in for research.

Drive By

Sometimes you can cross homes off the list just by seeing the exterior.

View Homes

Remember, only view homes you’re serious about, as you’re asking someone to leave their home. Also, viewing too many homes clouds your memory. If you’re looking in an area and price point where homes fly off the shelf, we’ll need to plan to see things quickly; otherwise, we’ll try to plan a date soon to see multiple properties at once.

Make an Offer

Sometimes an offer is accepted as-is, sometimes it’s countered, and sometimes you’ll enter a “multiple offer situation”. If you go Under Contract… congrats! If not, WASH-RINSE-REPEAT.
