Homebuying Team

Getting pre-approved with a lender is one of the most important steps you can take in the homebuying process. A lender examines your financial information to calculate a homebuying budget and provides a pre-approval letter. That pre-approval sends a strong signal that you are serious when you put in an offer. The lender you choose should have a reputation for being a problem-solver and a track record of ensuring transactions close. 

A home inspector makes sure a home is structurally sound and inspects for a wide range of potential problems. As the homebuyer, you can choose the inspector when you are interested in buying a home. You want to find someone who is thorough, provides you with a written report and photos, charges market rate, and who can be scheduled within a few days of your offer. Depending on the property you are purchasing, you may require other inspections such as septic, soil testing, or sewer. We will talk about what you may need. 

The appraiser is assigned by the lender, and therefore choosing an excellent lender is important to ensure you have an excellent appraiser. Among the qualifications in a good appraiser are performing the appraisal in a timely manner and the skillful utilization of local data to make sure your investment is a sound one.
