The Glenn Advantage For The Buyer  

Here are the key steps to buying a home and how we can help make the process easier.

Loan pre-approval
Before you begin to shop for a home, enhance your buying power by getting Pre-Approved or Pre-Qualified. Pre-qualification consists of preliminary steps for the initial loan application process. The mortgage lender will use details provided about your credit, income, assets and debts to arrive at an estimate of how much mortgage you can afford. This process is usually free and takes minimal time. Contact us today and we can put you in touch with mortgage professionals and you can determine which lender and program will best fit your needs.

Learn the market
When you begin looking for a house, you should consider the following:Where do you want to live? What type of house do you want? What features of a home are absolutely necessary to you? Take some time to gather your housing needs and put your "wish list" on paper. Now you're ready to begin your search

Making an Offer
When determining your offer price you should ask for a Comparative Market Analysis. This is a comparison of recent sales of similar properties that have similar criteria to the house you are looking to purchase. Once you have established a fair price, you're ready to write an offer.As your sales professional we will present the offer to the seller or the seller's agent. The seller will either accept, reject or counter your offer. You may either sign it as it is showing your agreement, or make a counter offer. When both the seller and buyer agree to the terms and sign the document, it becomes a valid contract.
