Now that you've visited several homes and have decided on the one that best fits your criteria, your Buyer Agent will help you write up an Offer to Purchase and it will then be presented to the Sellers by the Listing Agent. The Sellers may accept your offer, reject it outright or may counter your offer. Don't worry your Buyer Agent will help you every step of the way as you navigate this part of the process. Once you have an accepted Offer, you'll need to apply for your loan preferably through a reputable local lender. Be prompt in furnishing all documentation to your loan officer when it's requested. This will prevent delays in the approval of your loan. You'll also need to choose a home inspector, a pest inspector, a surveyor and an attorny. Ask your Buyer Agent for the names of at least three in each of these categories. Call them to find out their availability and pricing information. Your Buyer Agent should be able to help you schedule these items. While you are waiting for the inspections to take place and counting down the days until closing, keep in mind that you shouldn't make any big purchases or job changes during this time. These could affect the approval status of your loan. Above all, remain calm and enjoy looking forward to being in your new home. This is an exciting time and you'll want to remember it with fond memories.
