Buyers FAQs
Your REALTOR® is essential in guiding you through every step of the buying process — from pre-approval to closing. I’m here to help you navigate, negotiate, and ultimately celebrate when we hand you the keys to your perfect place.
To get pre-approved, gather details about your income, credit history, assets, and debts. Your lender will guide you through the process, but these are the typical items you’ll need:
Valid ID (driver’s license or government-issued photo ID)
Social Security Number
Recent pay stubs
Bank statements
Tax documents (W-2s, recent tax returns, etc.)
Investment account statements
A list of monthly debts
Rental history or landlord contact info
Gift letters (if applicable)
Authorization to run your credit report
Along with me (your REALTOR®) and your lender, you’ll likely work with:
Home Inspector
Appraiser
Title Company
Escrow Officer or Closing Agent
Each of these professionals plays a role in making sure your purchase is smooth and secure.
Once you have your pre-approval letter, it’s time to meet and find Your Perfect Place. Call me to set up a Buyer Consultation where we’ll discuss:
Your wants, needs, and non-negotiables
What you can expect during your home search
Current market conditions
A customized plan to move forward confidently
Once we’ve found the one, we move forward with:
A comparative market evaluation to determine if the asking price is fair for the area
Discussing your offer strategy based on your budget and the seller’s position
Preparing and submitting the offer with all required documentation
Awaiting the seller’s response — and negotiating if needed
Staying in close contact to quickly address counteroffers or additional requests
This is the exciting part! Once your offer is accepted:
You’ll submit your earnest money deposit to show your commitment
We’ll schedule your home inspection (optional but highly recommended)
You’ll work with your lender to finalize your loan and provide any updated financial info
If we’ve crossed into a new month, be ready to submit your latest documents
If you’re paying cash, an appraisal is optional — but if you’re financing, your lender will require it. Here’s why it matters:
It confirms the market value of the property
The lender will not finance more than what the home is worth
An appraisal protects you from overpaying
If the appraisal comes in higher than the sale price, you instantly have equity in your new home — a great position to be in
