Select our agent and counsel them, ask if they can offer any discounts
Your real estate professional should be an expert in the area where you want to live and be familiar with
the type of home you want to buy. Your Raavstar agent will be knowledgeable and professional and will
use their experience to offer the best advice on homes in your price range.
Understand your budget and financing
Your lender will look at your current financial situation as well as the type of loan you choose. Another
factor that impacts how much home you can buy is the down payment; smaller down payments mean
higher monthly payments. Last, the interest rate and terms (30-year, fixed, or adjustable rate) will
determine what you can afford in monthly payments. If you are not already working with a lender, our
team can provide recommendations for you.
Create your wish list and know your location
We will work with you to evaluate your wants and needs in a home, making a list of must-have features
to narrow our search. We will pay special attention to where you want to live, the lifestyle you are
seeking, how many bedrooms and baths you'll need and other important details in identifying possible fits
for you.
View properties and shortlist them
Your Raavstar agent will preview the current inventory of homes that matches your criteria and will
recommend the best fits for you to view. We'll make sure you see all the properties that best match your
search criteria. We will work with you to narrow it down to the home best suits the activities and needs
of your household now and in the years ahead.
Make an offer and Negotiate
When you find the home that you fall in love with, your Raavstar agent will prepare a market analysis to
help you determine a fair price to offer on the home - considering factors such as condition, how long the
home has been on the market, location, seller's motivation, and recent comparable sales. Your agent will
have the details covered including preparing a contract, presenting your offer, explaining your options,
and negotiating for you.
Get an inspection and understand issues
A home inspection is a professional third party opinion of the home's condition. The inspector will point
out the age of systems, and large and small repairs that are needed, so you'll know what you are facing as
the next owner.
Get an appraisal
The bank appraisal determines market value for determining loan value. If the home doesn't appraise for
the purchase price, the bank will refuse to make the loan unless you renegotiate with the seller or bring
cash to the closing. If it appraises, the lender will move towards closing.
Go to closing and ask questions to your attorney
Your Raavstar agent will guide you through all the important legal documents and closing events to make
sure everything goes smoothly. When you work with a Raavstar agent, you can be confident we will be
with you all the way across the finish line when you get your keys to your new home.
