Get Pre-Qualified
Before you waste any of your time, or the sellers time, make
sure you can afford the property you are inquiring about. Be
sure to contact a Mortgage Professional, so you know exactly how
much you can afford.
Use the Sellers Contact info
Dont be afraid to contact the seller from the information they
have provided. If there is a phone number, they want you to
call. If there is an email option, they want you to email. If
you get the sellers voicemail, leave a message. State your
name, where you found the listing, and clearly/ slowly leave
your phone number. Do not hesitate to follow up if you do not
hear from them by the next day.
Research, compare & evaluate homes
Research the market & learn about the home buying process. Look
at and visit different areas, investigate services within the
community, schools, work etc. Search online & use our area
information pages, thoroughly research where you want to buy. If
possible select a few properties that meet your requirements to
view, that way you wont jump in and buy the first one you see.
Choose your new home and negotiate a price
Once you have chosen a suitable property, the first step is to
make a verbal offer, once the offer has been accepted the
purchase terms may need to be negotiated with the seller. There
may also be other factors involved at this point such as
mortgage approval, completion dates or the terms of payment. It
is usual at this stage for both parties to speak to their
lawyers as they are best at negotiating and making sure
everything meets with the approval of both parties.
Therefore, at this stage, it is beneficial to bring into the
buying process a lawyer to assist further in the negotiation
making sure that any offer meets all necessary legal criteria.
If you are intending to fund your property purchase via a
mortgage, we can recommend some of the best banks. Our advice is
shop around, there are some good deals out there.
Moving in
Most experts suggest changing the locks on all of the exterior
doors after you have purchased a new home. You never know how
many keys are floating around for your new property. It is
safest to simply get the locks changed right away.
BOTH home buyers and sellers should contact a lawyer for all
legal requirements and further information on the home buying
process.
