What are the steps to buying a home?
Six steps from your first question to your front door.
Get pre-approved
A lender reviews your finances and tells you what you can borrow, so you shop with a real number and sellers take your offer seriously.
Decide what matters most
Location, size, commute, yard, budget. Sort your must-haves from your nice-to-haves before the tours begin.
Tour homes
See homes in person and online, with someone pointing out what to look at closely and what a listing photo leaves out.
Make an offer
Review recent sales together, then write an offer that fits your budget and your terms.
Inspect and appraise
The inspection shows the home’s condition and the appraisal confirms its value for the lender. You’ll get help with any repair requests.
Close and get your keys
A final walkthrough, the signing and the funding. Then the home is yours.
Tips for buyers in Oklahoma
Keep your credit steady
Hold off on new loans or credit cards until closing. Lenders check your credit again before funding.
Budget beyond the price
Plan for closing costs, the inspection, moving day and the first few repairs.
Visit at different times
See the street on a weekday evening and a weekend morning before you decide.
Chaz went above and beyond on more than one occasion to make this process smooth! This was my first time selling a home, AND I was doing it from out of state. Despite the home needing major repairs, his connections with incredible local contractors really eased my mind. He was incredibly communicative, and we were able to sell the home at a very competitive price in a tough market, receiving an offer in less than a month. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
Questions buyers ask
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the loan. Some programs allow a small down payment and others ask for more. A lender can tell you which ones you qualify for.
Do I need to be pre-approved before I tour homes?
It’s the best place to start. You’ll know your price range, and sellers take a pre-approved buyer’s offer more seriously.
How is a buyer’s agent paid?
You and Chaz Farrell agree on it in writing before you tour homes together. Commissions are negotiable and aren’t set by law, and you’ll hear the options up front.
Can I buy a home before I sell mine?
Often, yes. It depends on your finances and your loan. Chaz Farrell can walk through the options with you and your lender.
