The Home Buying Process in Cache Valley Utah

Purchasing a home is a little more complex than buying a taco. Before I bought my first home, I was very uncertain of all that's involved with a real estate transaction. I wanted to know, how do I actually go about buying a house? This is a list of some of the steps of what to expect during your home purchase process.

1. Figure out what you want, and what you can afford.

Surprisingly, what you want and what you can afford are usually different. I recommend you start by
getting an idea of what's on the market and how much it costs for so much home. The easiest way to do this is to search online, and look at home listings in the Sunday paper.

It's also a good idea to anticipate future family needs (buying a home is a great investment, but there
are costs of both buying and selling, if you're going to need a bigger house in a year, you might be better off to get that house now.)

2. Get pre-approved for a loan.

To get pre-approved you need to meet with a local Cache Valley lender. They examine credit, employment, debt, and income to determine what they can loan you, and at what rate. They will recommend loan products that best fit your needs, and can give you a letter saying you're "pre approved". Being pre-approved can strenghten your offer ability, as It shows sellers "this is a quality buyer." In some cases, sellers require that buyers are pre-approved in order to even make an offer.

3. Tour Homes and find the home that is a winner.

Being that you've already familiarized yourself with the present market, you probably have a few homes that you wouldn't mind checking out. Call, or e-mail me with the MLS#'s of the homes you'd like to see. I will likely recommend a couple I've seen, that I think might be what you're looking for. If the present owner of the home still lives there, we need to give them 24 hour notice before seeing it. If it's vacant, we can usually see it whenever. I like to show a maximum of about 6 or 7 homes on a single tour session. We can tour homes just about any time of day, I'm very flexible, but it's usually best to do it before dark so you can actually see the house.

Once you find a house that you think you want to make an offer on, we go back and see it again. This time we do our own sort of "home inspection" and make sure it really is a house you want to buy.

4. Make an Offer

Once a house is found that you want to make your home, we make an offer. To be legal, an offer on a home purchase must be in writing. You can either pay a lawyer to help you write up some docs, or I'll help you with the paperwork using forms that lawyers have already prepared for us. In the offer, we negotiate not only the price, but also possible concessions, possesion date, and contingencies that must be met to make it a binding deal.

When we make the offer, you also must make an earnest money deposit. The earnest money shows the seller you are serious about your offer. The earnest money is non refundable if you back out of your offer after acceptance for a non approved reason.

I then submit your offer to the seller’s agent, and they present it to the home seller.
