🏦 Do I need a home mortgage pre-approval?
A home mortgage pre-approval is beneficial for several reasons. Getting the pre-approval removes some of the stress associated with buying a home because it lets you know with a bit of security that you will have the ability to buy a house when you find one.
One of the worst feelings when looking for homes is getting your heart set on a house that is outside of your affordability range. A mortgage pre-approval removes that chance for heartache because you know which price range you can afford.
To get a pre-approval, you’ll visit the lender of your choice and provide the information and document proof they need to verify your financial stability. A pre-approval creates a hard inquiry on your credit report and is valid for a specific period.

📝 How do I make an offer on the house?
Before making an offer, you’ll want to be sure you know about any problems with the property by reading the disclosure of the seller and having us ask any questions you have about the home. Once you are sure about the house, we’ll craft a written offer and present it to the seller or their agent.
The seller has several options after you submit an offer. The seller can accept the offer as it is, reject the offer, or come back with a counteroffer with different terms. We’ll be there throughout the entire process and handle all negotiations on your behalf.

🔎 What happens when the offer is accepted?
Few days compare with those just before hearing if your offer is accepted, but the joy you feel once you get the positive news is incredible! Typically, you’ll be asked to place an earnest payment. The money sits in an escrow account until the closing day when it’s applied to the down payment.
During this time, the mortgage lender sets up an appraisal and any inspections needed to complete their requirements. Should anything show up as an issue during this process, we’ll be there to help you understand the reports.
🔑 When do I get the keys to my Sarasota real estate?
Once the inspections and appraisal are complete, you’re on the way to closing day. Keep in mind that though it’s called closing day, it can sometimes take a couple of days to complete the necessary paperwork.
We’ll attend the closing with you and see that all the paperwork is signed and complete. The escrow agent gives the seller money owed to complete the transaction, and you get the keys to the home.
