HOMEOWNERSHIP CREATES WEALTH
Buying a home can be an overwhelming process. From financing to negotiating to closing, there are a lot of moving pieces that can leave homebuyers bewildered.
A District City Living Real Estate Advisor | Realtor can help guide you through each step of the buying process, offering sound advice along the way. By working with a professional agent/Realtor who knows the ins and outs of the real estate industry, you’ll not only end up with a great home, but you’ll also walk away with a great experience.
Here are some of the key areas that an Realtor can help you with:
Getting pre-approved by a lender
By providing your
District City Living Real Estate Advisor | Realtor
with some basic information about your income, savings, and debt, he or she can assist you in getting pre-approved by a reputable lender. The lender will then go over your financing options, what monthly payment amount you can afford, and what you can expect for down payment requirements and closing costs.
Choosing a home
For most buyers, choosing a home is an emotional process. Our Realtors can assist you in this process by offering objective information about each property you look at. From local community information like schools and zoning to home-specific details like condition and amenities, we can also help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Making an offer
Once you’ve found the home of your dreams, your District City Living Real Estate Advisor | Realtor
will research recent comparable sales of similar homes in the area to help determine a fair selling price. Based on those comparable sales, as well as other factors like inspections and repairs, we will then help you structure an offer and negotiate to get the very best deal possible.
Closing
Closing, or settlement, can be a complicated process. In some states, the escrow or title company handles the closing process, while in other states an attorney handles it. Regardless of where you’re buying, the District City Living Team will help ensure that everything goes smoothly during your quest to homeownership, a path to creating wealth.
