First things first, you will meet directly with Jared so that he can learn more about your home preferences and needs, like price point, space, etc. This will give him an excellent foundation to search for your new home.

Pre-approval is a necessary step in buying a home. You will need pay-stubs, W2s, and other proof of income documentation to complete pre-approval.

Once you’ve gained pre-approval, Jared will begin searching through his network for the perfect home for you and your family, based on your preference and price point.

Once you find something you love, Jared will work with you to prepare and submit an offer on the house.

Not every offer goes through, and sometimes there is a negotiation that happens. If the seller doesn’t outright deny or approve the offer, you might have the option to negotiate and pay more than your original offer to buy the home. Once this is done, you will be on your way to officially being a homeowner!

You’re so close! Escrow is the period of limbo when documentation is still being finalized, but you and the seller have agreed to the terms.

Once documentation is in, it’s time for the little stuff, like appraisals, inspections, and more.

You did it! This is the transfer of funds and ownership. A title company or attorney typically acts as an independent third party to facilitate the closing.

There’s no commitment required on your part for the initial meeting. It will be educational and Jared can help you identify your next steps.

Jared will provide a market analysis, which will help you set an asking price.

View your home through the eyes of the buyer and ask yourself what you’d expect. Jared will offer some useful suggestions.

When everything is in place, Jared will put your home on the open market. It’s critical you make it as easy as possible for potential buyers to view your home.

If everything goes well, a buyer and their agent will present an offer. Jared will explain the benefits and risks of each offer, and you will have the opportunity to either accept or counter any offer based on its merits.

At this point, you and the buyer have agreed to all the terms of the offer and both parties have signed the agreements.

While under contract, the buyer will work with their mortgage provider to finalize the loan and perform other due diligence. The buyer will usually perform a physical inspection of your home and you may be asked to make certain repairs.

You did it! This is the transfer of funds and ownership. Depending on when the buyer moves into the home, you will need to be all packed up and ready to move.
