This We Need You To Do Now
- Find a Mortgage Broker/Lender. We recommend comparing at least three Lenders/Mortgage Brokers to see who will give you the best terms and rates. You have already asked us for this list.
- Sign the Buyer Representation Agreement and return it to us. We will send this to you via email once we’ve decided to work together.
- Review the estimated closing costs you received from your Lender.
- Interview and select a Home Inspector. We will send you our home inspection and referral list via email. The home Inspector generally costs $350-$1,200 depending on whether you’re buying a condo or single-family home and how large and how many additional features you have selected. My Home Inspector will be:

- Change privacy settings on Facebook and LinkedIn to the highest security settings possible, while still allowing people to Friend you. Do not post anything about your home search as it can be used against us during negotiations.
- Send a copy of your preapproval letter to us as well as the contact info for your mortgage Lender/Broker.
- Keep us updated on your mortgage process.
- Do not buy anything expensive or open new credit cards. Pay all bills on time. Be very careful with your finances from now until we close.
- Decide whether you want a home warranty and if this is something you want to purchase or would like us to try and negotiate during the negotiation process.
- Ask Andi and download her mobile app for your smartphone. It is the real estate industry’s national search portal, featuring accurate, real-time information that Brokers use. Then when you’re out, and you see a For Sale sign, you can pull up the app and get fast answers.
- Review a practice Purchase & Sales Agreement at the beginning of your home search, so you are comfortable with understanding the Purchase & Sales Agreement when the time comes to put in an offer. Ask us to send these to you when you’re ready to review them and we can go over them together
