I see you making moves in the right direction! Step number 1 is to reach out. When we sit down, I’ll answer all of your questions and set you up so you are ready to start the process! Not sure if you’re quite there? No worries, the earlier we can meet the better. I’m serious! I meet with some clients 1-2 years in advance so they are as prepared as possible when the time comes.
Not at all! I am a HUGE fan of “the more time, the better”. The earlier we meet, the better your understanding will be of the process and the action needed to set yourself up for success.
In our moving market – YES! Having a pre-approval gives you confidence, leverage, and makes you a ready buyer. The pre-approval process will help establish the price point that you are comfortable purchasing at and will allow you to plan. Meeting with a lender as early as possible is ideal so you can make any necessary adjustments needed prior to making an offer on a home.
Your cash expenses will include items such as: inspection, appraisal, and earnest money. At closing, you will bring a check for the total down payment and closing costs.
Earnest Money: Typically 1-3% of the purchase price (included as part of your down payment)
Down Payment: A percentage of the total purchase price (typically between 3% and 20%, but can be more or less).
Inspections: Pricing depends on the square footage of the home, but you can generally plan to spend between $500-$700 on the home inspection and $200-$250 on the sewer scope.
Appraisal: Lender dependent on when the payment is due (at appraisal or closing), but generally is between $800-$1000.
A typical closing timeframe for a financed purchase is typically 21-0 days, but it can be more. A cash purchase can be closed in as few as 10 days.
Prior to any home tours, we will need to complete the initial meeting, which will include completing your comprehensive needs assessment and connecting you with a lender for your budget meeting.
