The Right “Order of Operations” in Buying a Home

buying a home - what you need to know - tampa bay homes for sale

Buying a house is a little bit like algebra (but probably not as scary). You have to follow the right order of operations in order to get the right results.

When you’re buying a house, there’s a general timeline you should follow – and if you do, your entire home buying process will be easier.

The Right Order of Operations in Buying a Home

If you’re like most people, you’re starting your home search on the Internet. It’s where approximately 80 percent of all buyers start, so you’re definitely not alone.

One of the first things you can do to make the whole process easier is get in touch with a Realtor®. Your Realtor will be able to search for homes that meet your criteria so you’re not wasting time looking at houses that aren’t a great fit.

From there, it’s a good idea to talk to a lender. You can shop for the best deals on a mortgage just like you can shop for good deals on anything else, and you should; buying a home is a huge investment.

Once you’re prequalified or preapproved, you can get a little more serious with your search for the perfect home. Sellers tend to take offers more seriously when they’re accompanied by a preapproval letter, so if you find a great deal, you’ll be able to jump on it.

Your Realtor will walk you through the whole home buying process, which also includes:

  • Preparing a purchase offer
  • Contract for the home
  • Finalize financing
  • Prepare for settlement
  • Conduct the final walk-through
  • Go to closing

Buying a home is incredibly exciting, and if you have a real expert in your corner, it’s a seamless, easy process.
