14 STEP BUYING PROCESS

  1. Contact Goldmark Realty
  2. Get Pre-qualified for a loan
  3. Work with your Goldmark Realty agent to start viewing homes
  4. Find a home and make an offer
  5. Possible negotiations on the price
  6. Seller Accepts
  7. Put up OPTION MONEY which gives you an OPTION PERIOD to have the home inspected. OPTION MONEY is usually around $100 and OPTION PERIOD is usually 10 days
  8. Get Home Inspected by a professional inspector. Usually around $300 but could vary.
  9. Negotiate any repairs or price changes based on inspection results (at this point if you back out of the deal you are only out the $100 OPTION MONEY)
  10. Seller Accepts
  11. Put down Earnest money with the Escrow Agent/Title Company. Usually around 1% of the purchase price on lower priced homes and ½% on higher priced homes. The Earnest money can be used towards your down payment of course.
  12. Title Company does title search to check liens on home and any other title issues
  13. Lender will continue the loan process including appraisal and survey
  14. Meet at Title Company to sign paperwork and get the keys to your new home.

All of this usually takes around 30 days (of course closing dates can be negotiated beyond 30 days if needed)
