Go Home Shopping!

Make a list of what you want vs what you need in your new home. Your agent will use this list to find homes for you to tour.

Get a Home Inspection

Once your offer is accepted, you will want to do a home inspection to ensure there are not any hidden issues with the home.


Get a Home Appraisal

Your lender will arrange for a home appraisal to ensure that the property is worth the price that you have agreed to pay for it. The bank will only issue a loan for the appraisal value.
