Overview
Buying a home can be an overwhelming process. It is important the home buyer has the proper resources to help. The first step is to hire a mortgage professional and a real estate professional. The mortgage professional will help you figure out how much you can afford based on your income, debts and credit. They will also help you shop for a loan and provide information on other home buying programs to find you one that matches your needs. After you have been prequalified a real estate professional will help you find homes in the appropriate price range, write the contract and help you through the inspection process. Both the mortgage and real estate professional can help you with other referrals like home inspection, home warranty, title and home insurance companies. Once all the loan and contract documentation has been completed you will sign papers to complete the purchase of the home.
