MISCELLANEOUS IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER!

Here's a random assortment of Important Things to Remember related to your home search!

  • Acquaint yourself with THE LEARNING CENTER'S Section 7: "What's Out There?…An Overview of Mortgage Loans, as well as Section 8: From Start to Finish…The Process Simplified. Remember to return regularly to your Calculators above which allow you to input different scenarios.

  • In the world of real estate and home-hunting, remember that A WRITTEN CONTRACT ALWAYS TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER A VERBAL CONTRACT!! Make sure what is conveyed verbally to you is committed to writing!!

  • Be aware that sellers are oftentimes most receptive to paying part or all of a Pre-Qualified buyer's closing costs. Do not be shy in this regard.

  • Remember that you have the absolute right to seek the mortgage of your choice wherever you wish!

  • If you are represented by a Realtor, make certain that it is a Buyers' Agent. The seller incurs this commission cost; make certain you're represented by your agent.

  • If you are committed to finding a "For Sale By Owner" property, review For Sale by Owner…BUY & SELL to gain an understanding of the "FIZBO" world.

  • Back to Verbal: Never buy a Resale home of any vintage without having a Professional Home Inspection; being told that any defect is corrected is NOT the same as KNOWING that it's done…and having it in writing.

  • Review with your Mortgage Consultant all final aspects of your mortgage prior to loan documents being drawn for Closing.

  • Upon your contract being accepted, start shopping for homeowners' insurance. Do not leave this item until the last moment.

  • Strategize your move to be as stress-free as possible! Do not expect it to be completed in a day or two; give yourself some breathing room.

  • Make sure to do your "walk-through" prior to closing to make certain there are not any inadvertent items overlooked that are in your agreed Purchase Contract.
