Where to Start Your Home Buying Journey

Hey there, I'm Dan Benjamin with the Whissel Realty Group. I'm going to tell you about the initial steps of purchasing a home and the home-buying process.

Step one is for you to come in, meet with me, and we will go over some of the needs and wants and details of what you're looking for in a home.

Step two is to have you talk with a lender. We have some great loan officers that we can refer you to and I can custom-fit one for you. With that loan officer, they're going to take all of your financials into account and figure out what a budget is for you, what fits you, and your needs. Once we have that budget and the purchase price figured out, I will start sending you homes that meet all of your needs, wants, and budget. And from there, we'll go ahead and be able to pick out homes that really catch your eye. And then we'll go take a look at those.

Step three is getting out there to look at those homes and identifying what you really like in a home. Consider me your personal shopper to be able to pick out homes and the little intricacies of what you need in the home. In the next step, step four, we're going to go ahead and get into the offer-writing process. Once we write an offer, we submit that on paper through to the seller so that they can see that what the terms are that you're offering, how much, the price, and all the details on that offer. And we negotiate with the seller to hopefully get your offer accepted.

Once we get your offer accepted, the next step, step five, is opening escrow. And that process I'll talk more about in another video. If you have any questions about any of this process, I look forward to talking to you. My phone number is 329-5829.
