Buying a Home
Can Be a Challenge.
When it comes to buying your home, the entire process can be incredibly confusing. Often it’s the dream of moving into a home, making it your own, and building a life that serves as the driving force behind the desire for home ownership. But figuring out how to take the right first step can be daunting. With Simmers Real Estate your dream of home ownership can become a reality.
STEP 1:
Consultation
Our process includes brainstorming your wants, your needs, your must-haves, and your deal-breakers. As we discover what this home could look like for you, we will put together a custom plan of action for achieving your goals.
STEP 2:
Financing
Gaining LOAN APPROVAL guides our search parameters and lets sellers know you are serious about purchasing a home. If you don’t already have a relationship with a lender, we will provide you with a few options.
STEP 3:
Discovery
This is where the fun begins! Based on the information we gathered from you, we will put together a selection of homes to tour together. It will include homes that you may consider “winners,” homes that could be “maybes,” and a few you may not have considered.
STEP 4:
Making an Offer
Once you’ve found “the one,” we will work together to compose the offer. We will start by providing you with a market analysis to help determine a competitive offer price.
STEP 5:
Mutual Acceptance
Finally, after submitting your offer and negotiating counteroffers, our goal is to reach an agreement in writing, on all terms - known as “mutual acceptance.”
STEP 6:
Inspection
A home inspection is an in-depth walk-through of the home. You will hire a professional home inspector (we can help provide a few referrals) who will conduct a walk-through and investigate any items with the home that may be cause for concern.
STEP 7:
Escrow
An escrow officer is an independent 3rd party who oversees the transaction to ensure all parties have performed their duties as outlined in the contract.
STEP 8:
Closing
We are committed to continuing our relationship beyond the sale with our vast community of vendors, and serve as your go-to source for anything household-related as you transition and begin your new journey!
STEP 9:
The Final Steps
When you hire us, we become your partner. With Simmers Real Estate we’re ready to lead you through every step to achieve your goals of selling. We act as a partner to you from the moment we set the listing price to the day you turn over the keys.
