THE HOME BUYING PROCESS

A clear plan for your next move.

01

Is now the right time to buy or sell?

  • Your timeline

    How soon are you looking to buy or sell a home? Start by identifying the timing that works for you.

  • Your plans

    How long do you plan to live in your next home? Think about future growth as you plan your move.

02

Get pre-approved for your home loan

  • Choose a lender

    Review your credit and complete a mortgage application. Ask Ashlee about local lender options.

  • Discuss your monthly budget

    Talk with your lender about a mortgage payment that fits your spending habits and comfort level.

  • Explore loan programs

    Discuss which loan program may be the best fit for you, such as VA, FHA or conventional financing.

03

Find your dream home

  • Choose your area

    What area would you like to live in, and why? Keep in mind that school attendance zones can change.

  • Find the right size

    Think about the space that works best for you and your family.

  • Keep an open mind

    Set realistic expectations and remember that cosmetic details can be changed. This is where Ashlee helps you explore your options.

04

Navigate escrow and closing

  • Inspect and review

    After an accepted offer, use the agreed option period to schedule an inspection and discuss repair requests. Focus on safety and deficient items that affect the home’s functionality; timing depends on your contract.

  • Watch your inbox

    Keep an eye on emails from your lender, agent and title company. Deadlines matter throughout the transaction.

  • Prepare for your move

    Schedule a final walk-through before closing and arrange utilities and services: electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, alarm and yard maintenance.

  • Head to closing

    Complete the required documents and coordinate funding and possession with your agent, lender and title company. Then it’s time to celebrate your new home!
