For Buyers
Buying a home is a big decision. The home buying process is complex and it entails one of the largest financial transactions, possibly the largest, you’ll ever make. Here are the basic steps to guide you through the process.
Get Pre-Approved
Before you start looking for a home, it’s important to get pre-approved for many reasons. The most important reason is so you know how much home you can afford. Taking this step also shows sellers that you are a credible buyer, and it allows you to act quickly when you find the right home.
