Get your Finances in Order & Get Pre-Approved
Getting pre-approved helps you understand your budget and shows sellers you’re serious. Review your credit, gather documents, and connect with a lender to get started.
Find a Real Estate Agent or Broker
A great agent guides you through the process and helps you find the best opportunities. Choose someone who communicates well and understands your needs.
Search for your New Home
Explore neighborhoods, tour homes, and focus on what’s most important to you. Your agent will help narrow your options and keep your search on track.
Make an Offer and Negotiate
When you’ve found the right home, work with your agent to submit a strong offer. Negotiation is normal—stay flexible as you work toward a fair deal.
Get a Home Inspection and Appraisal
The inspection and appraisal make sure the home is safe and priced appropriately. If issues pop up, you’ll have room to discuss repairs or adjustments.
Finalize & Close the Sale
Closing brings everything together—paperwork, payments, and final approvals. Once complete, you’ll receive your keys and officially become a homeowner.
