A clear overview of the home buying process — from pre-approval to closing — so you know what to expect at each stage.
Buying a home can feel overwhelming because there are many moving parts. When you break it down clearly, though, the process is straightforward. Here’s what typically happens:
Before you start shopping, speak with a lender. A pre-approval helps you understand your budget and shows sellers you’re serious.
With a clear price range in mind, you’ll tour homes, compare neighborhoods, and narrow down what fits your needs and goals.
When you find the right home, your agent will help you structure a competitive offer, including price, timeline, and contingencies.
After your offer is accepted:
A home inspection checks the condition of the property.
An appraisal confirms the home’s value for the lender.
Depending on the results, there may be negotiation or adjustments.
Your lender completes underwriting and prepares final documents once everything checks out.
You sign paperwork, submit your remaining funds, and receive the keys.
