Home Buyers Checklist

 

Have you forgotten anything?

The checklist below summarizes all the stages of buying a home.  However, you should consult your Realtor and Lender or Mortgage Broker while going trough the process to get additional advice.

● Did you get pre-approved? Pre-approval would stand you a better chance of getting an excellent deal.
Do you have everything in writing? Verbal agreements do not mean a thing.
Did you get a good faith estimate from your mortgage lender? This will help you in getting mortgage with the best rates.
Did you hire a professional real estate agent? Were you satisfied with his/her work?
Did you get a professional home-inspection done? Do you have the inspector’s report?
Did you shop for your homeowner’s insurance? Are you satisfied with the insurance package you selected?
Did you read and understand all the documents before signing them?
Have you kept enough time gaps between the closing and moving to account for any other unexpected delays?
