Here's a quick look at the steps you'll
take when buying your first home with DPR Realty LLC
Congratulations! You have already started on step 1! Utilizing
our web site to begin your search for a new home is a fast and
efficient way to find the home of your dreams.
Figure out how much home you can afford. You can do this by
using our Financial Services.
Conduct a preliminary search with DPR Realty LLC’s Property
Finder.
Contact a Mortgage Consultant and get your mortgage pre-approved.
Contact a DPR Realty LLC Sales associate to look for a house
that meets your needs.
Once you find a home that you want to make an offer on, you'll
sign a purchase agreement and give the seller
earnest money to seal the deal. If your offer is accepted (sometimes
with contingencies), determine a date you wish to close.
Have your new home inspected to ensure there's nothing seriously
wrong with the property and get homeowner’s insurance to
protect yourself against any unforeseen calamity.
Notify your loan officer that you've found a property so they
can begin the appraisal and title process. And,
lock in your interest rate. Your loan officer
will send you a new good faith estimate which
shows your monthly mortgage payment as well as your estimated
cash needed for closing. The title company will notify
you of the time and date you close on your home and the items
you'll need to bring to closing.
Notify your phone company, utilities (don't forget water and
sewer), moving company, post office, newspaper and magazines,
friends and family, and change your mailing address.
