Your Essential Guide to Finding a Dream Home
This comprehensive buyer's guide from Northern Experience Realty Group walks you through the eight essential steps to becoming a homeowner. The process begins with crucial preparatory stages, such as finding a real estate agent you trust and preparing your finances by determining a budget and getting pre-approved for a mortgage. It then guides you through starting your property search, making a well-structured offer, and conducting a thorough home inspection and appraisal. The guide concludes by detailing the final steps of closing the deal and moving into your new home.
Meet the Team and Resources to Guide You
Beyond the main steps, the guide introduces you to the Northern Experience Realty Group team, including team lead Reggie Fitchett, who has over five years of experience and more than 500 transactions. To demystify the buying process, it includes a "Terms to Know" section that explains key concepts like down payments, mortgages, and closing costs. The guide also serves as a practical toolkit, offering a detailed "Home Touring Checklist" to help you evaluate properties and providing an extensive list of local resources, from home inspectors and real estate attorneys to mortgage brokers and moving companies.
