Tips For The Five Star Journey To Homeownership
Looking For Your Perfect Home:
This is where buyers become overwhelmed if they do not approach it with some planning. The best route is to let your real estate agent do the scouting for you. More than 80% of home sales are the result of agent connections. Your agent will alert you to listings that meet your wish list.
Making The Offer For Your Dream Home:
Once you have decided on a home that you wish to purchase, your Atlanta Real Estate Consultant will advise you on the proper bid amount for the home. The bid amount is determined based on the recent sales of homes of similar size, location, and amenities.
Contract Negotiations:
In most cases the seller will make a counter offer to your offer. This is where having an experienced Atlanta Real Estate Consultant is most important. There are many things your Consultant can negotiate that will give you leverage in the buying process. Some of those items are the price of the home, repairs you want completed before the home is sold, having the seller pay closing cost, or getting the move-in date that you want.
Preparation For Closing:
Once an offer is agreed upon by both parties your Atlanta Real Estate Consultant will help you with the list of things you, as the buyer, agreed to perform before closing. This usually includes conducting a home inspection, getting the house appraised, and finalizing your financing for the purchase of the home. These are important to the closure of your new home. As such, your Atlanta Real Estate Consultant will provide you with referrals to professional services providers if needed and assist with guidance and support in all areas.
Closing - Final Stages To The Keys To Your New Home:
The final stage of the home buying process. This is where title is legally transferred from the seller to the buyer. A few days before the closing your lender will send the final closing statement that will show the framework of the closing cost. Your Atlanta Real Estate Consultant will review this document to ensure that it is correct. Your AREC Realtor will walk you through the closing process so you know what to expect on the day of the closing.
