Every Agent is different. Each one will have the foundational tools to execute a property transfer properly. Ask questions and get to know the Agent a little. What is their experience like? If they are new, don’t be adverse. Ask if the Broker is partnering with them. Many new agents work directly with the Broker or a more experienced Agent. You would essentially be getting two Agents for the price of one. Sift and see if personalities work.
Once you find the Agent that fits you be prepared to sign a Listing Agreement or a Buyer -Broker Agreement. Depending on whether you are listing your house to sell or purchasing a property will determine which one you sign.
There are a few steps you need to have checked off BEFORE you look at homes.
Steps 1 and 2 need to be completed by you. Step 3 is just before closing.
It’s time to look around. Plan your search, visit properties, and choose your home. Your Agent will arrange everything. Let them.
Depending on the market you may need to be mentally prepared to look at multiple homes.
It’s time to write an offer with your Agent. Once you send an offer the seller may counter with different terms. You can choose to accept or reject the offer. (Don’t forget about that earnest money.)
When your offer is accepted, your Agent will open escrow and deposit your earnest money. You now enter into a specified time frame where a good deal of tasks need to be completed quickly and efficiently.
Once an offer has been accepted you are officially in an Executory Contract.
Performing the home inspection, negotiating repairs and reviewing all documents and reports on the property occur now.
Your lender and Escrow Officer will arrange appraisal and garner/forward documents necessary to close.
Almost there! It’s time to sign documents with Escrow. This can be in the Escrow office, at an outside location or it could be virtual. The Seller and Buyer will schedule their signings separately. You will need to give your down payment in the form of a cashier’s check. Your Real Estate Agent should attend signing with you.
Once complete, your lender will review signed documents and transfer funds to the seller.
Escrow will record the sale through the county Recorder’s Office.
Keys to your house are now in your hand! Go create your home.
