Finding and Buying a Home
Finding and buying a home is an exciting prospect but it’s also a complex process. However, you can minimize the complications with foreknowledge, a little preparation and working with an experienced REALTOR®. Sherwood Realty Inc can help. Here are a few tips on getting started.
Carefully consider:
- Where you want to live. What’s important to you?
- The features you need and want in your home.
- The price range you can you afford.
- The level of support you will need from your Realtor.
Start getting prepared:
Consult with the lender of your choice and get pre-qualified. This puts you in a stronger negotiating position and will save time later. If you need it Sherwood Realty can help in this process. You can contact us here.
Find out what’s available – get a feel for the market. Search the listings on the South Central Kansas Multiple Listing Service. Click here or on the “Welcome” banner in the upper right corner of each web page.
Start saving money for a down payment and closing costs.
Pay down your credit cards – and don’t apply for any new ones. Don’t make any major purchases on credit – the furniture or car can wait ‘til later. In short, don’t incur more debt.
Contact Us. Sherwood Realty Inc’s professional realtors will guide you through the entire home finding process including the preparation steps above.
The home buying process deserves special attention and preparation. There is more to it than just searching for the right home. You’ll need to consider neighborhoods, schools, market values, the condition of the home, various inspections, your mortgage, title insurance, property insurance, and of course closing. It is a complex process that even experienced buyers can find a bit overwhelming. Not to worry. Sherwood Realty Inc is here to help.
When it comes to completing your home purchase Sherwood Realty will work closely with everyone involved in the transaction to help ensure that everything moves ahead as smoothly as possible. We will:
Explain to you in detail all the steps that will occur, and answer any questions you might have.
Work with the seller’s broker to see that they fulfill their responsibilities under the contract.
Stay in touch with the settlement officer, title officer, lender and others to help coordinate their activities and to help keep the transaction moving forward.
Communicate with you on a regular basis so that you can stay informed and as worry-free as possible.
So, make sure you have the professional support and representation you need and deserve. Contact Donna Sherwood at Sherwood Realty Inc. today at 316-516-0212
