Buying

Steps to Buying a Home

Get Pre-Approved

A pre-approval is a letter from the lender verifying your finances. This letter tells us how much you can afford, and sets your buying budget. A pre-approval letter shows the sellers you are serious, and could give you a leg up with competing buyers.

Find a Trustworthy Agent

Do your research and sign with an agent that has extensive selling experience. You want someone who knows all the ins and outs of the buying process.

Determine Wants/Needs

Talk with your Realtor about what you absolutely NEED for your home, things you WANT, and things you DO NOT want for your home.

Research Neighborhoods and Communities

When buying a home you want to ensure your property is located in an area that works best for your needs/wants. It a good idea to consider future plans, work commute, education, safety, and any interests/hobbies you my have.

Shop for Your Dream Home

Once you have you have decided on wants/needs and a general area, your agent can create a personalized list of available homes within your budget.

Closing

Once the seller has accepted your offer, we can start preparing for closing. Finalizing loan documents, scheduling an appraisal, inspections and a final walk through. During closing there will be lots of confusing documents, and signatures. With the excitement of buying a new home, things tend to be over looked. That is why it's so important to partner with a trusted agent.

Kerrie Barnard

Eric was amazing to work with. I was living out of state and he was able to make room in his schedule anytime we were in town. We looked at a few homes and he was always encouraging. He was right in that we would know when we found the right home for us. I recommend Eric to everyone I know looking to buy or sell.

Laura P

We had a fabulous experience with Eric Ritenour of The Rite Relator as he helped us sell our property. He gave us valuable advice and is an honest representative when doing business. Our situation was a bit complicated and Eric went out of his way to help us and make sure the transaction closed. Highly recommend!
