Homebuying 101 (Continued)
4. MAKING AN OFFER.
When you have found the property that matches your criteria your agent will prepare an offer for you. When making an offer, there are many things to consider outside of price. Financing terms, closing date and possession dates are all items that make your offer attractive to the seller. The offer you made can be rejected, accepted or counter-offered. Counter-offers are very common and can be viewed as an opportunity to reneogitate.

5. CLOSING.
Once the offer has been accepted and your financing terms have been met a closing date is set. Most of the closing documents are prepared by your attorney, lender and title company. The buyer must be ready with home owners insurance. All parties arrive at the closing awaiting the exchange of documents and keys.

Allow a real estate professional help you find the property that is best suited for you.

"...in a real estate market that has recently been competitve for buyers, working with Vintage Realty made the difference between getting a property or losing it.
