Buyer's Guide

This Buyer Guide outlines the full home-buying process, from financing to closing, to help buyers navigate each step with confidence. It begins with selecting an agent, signing a buyer representation agreement, and obtaining mortgage pre-approval to determine affordability.

Buyers then define search criteria, tour properties, review comparable sales, and submit an offer. Once under contract, the guide explains inspections, repair negotiations, loan applications, appraisals, underwriting, and the final walk-through before closing. It highlights how agents support buyers through negotiations, paperwork, and market insights. The guide also summarizes loan types, key real estate terms, helpful worksheets, and the Exclusive Buyer Brokerage Agreement, ensuring a smooth, informed home-buying experience.
