Are you thinking of buying a home but don’t know where to start? This will be a quick start guide to buying a house in Chandler, Arizona.
1) Start looking at areas you like. Drive around mark down cross streets or neighborhoods. Consider important factors for your lifestyle such as are school districts important or is easy access to the freeway a necessity?
2) Consult with a Lender. I have many lenders I work with who can talk to you about the process and see where your credit is and what payments you would be comfortable with. Margaret Livingston with Homeowners Financial, John Reising with Amerifirst or Caroline Farrar with imortgage can all get you pre-qualified and ready to start looking at homes. There are programs out there that can fit your needs such as a low down payment or first time homebuyers programs, or special assistance for buying an investment property. These 3 can help you with all of your financing questions.
3) Contact Betsie Melter at 480.734.3644 to start talking about the size of home you are looking for and any criteria you want such as single level, pool, 3 car garage etc.
4) Home Searching -I will then start searching for your home and we can go out and view properties that meet your needs.
5) Writing An Offer – Once we find your perfect house we can put an offer in after reviewing similar properties and deciding what price to offer. I will walk you through each step from conducting inspections to finalizing the loan with the lender and doing our walk thru prior to you getting your keys.
