Step 1: Research and Planning

It’s also crucial to determine your budget and financing options. Get pre-approved for a mortgage to understand how much you can borrow and what your monthly payments will be. Research different lenders, interest rates, and terms to find the best option for you.

Additionally, research neighborhoods and communities. Consider factors such as commute time, school districts, public transportation, local amenities, and safety. This will help you narrow down your search and make more informed decisions.

Step 2: Property Search

Step 3: Offer Presentation and Acceptance

When you find the perfect property, it’s time to make an offer! Work with your agent to prepare a written offer that includes:
The purchase price
Contingencies (e.g., home inspection, financing)
Closing date
Possession date

Present the offer to the seller or their agent through email. Be prepared for negotiations and potential counteroffers. Remember to stay calm and professional during this process.

Step 4: Conditions and Due Diligence

Once your offer is accepted, it’s time to start due diligence! This includes:

 Inspecting the property for any defects or issues

 Reviewing the property’s history and condition reports

 Conducting research on the property’s zoning, permits, and other local regulations

This step is crucial in ensuring you’re making an informed decision about your purchase. Be prepared to address any concerns or issues that arise during this process.

Step 5: Remove Conditions

Once you’ve completed due diligence and are satisfied with the property, it’s time to remove conditions! This means:

 Satisfying your contingencies (e.g., home inspection, financing)

 Providing written notice to the seller and agent

 Confirming that all conditions have been met

Step 6: Prepare for Possession

Get ready for moving day by:

 Arranging utilities, insurance, and other services

 Planning for moving logistics (movers, packing, etc.)

 Confirming the possession date with your agent and seller

Step 7: Meet with Lawyer

Before taking possession of the property, meet with a lawyer to review and sign documents. This includes:

 Finalizing any outstanding issues or concerns

 Reviewing the property’s title and ownership

 Ensuring all necessary documents are signed and notarized

Step 8: Possession Day

Prior to 24 hours of Possession day, take a walk-through of the property with your agent to ensure everything is in order. Check for:

 Damage from previous occupants (if any)

 Any issues or defects that need addressing

 That all agreed-upon fixtures and appliances are included

Step 9: Follow Up

After taking possession, keep an eye out for any issues or concerns that may arise. Review your documents and confirm that everything is in order.

Schedule a follow-up call with your agent to address any questions or concerns you may have after moving in. Write down these questions so you’re prepared for the call.
