Buying a North Texas home is no small task. Besides being the largest financial transaction you may ever undertake, it is also the most complex. Ensuring the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible starts with choosing a knowledgeable and easy-to-use realty company. At Epps Realty, our experienced agents and dedicated staff combine to make it easy to choose and buy your desired home. Simply put, get the house you want – at the right price – with a local Epps Realty agent.
Here’s what every first-time home buyer needs to know to dive into house hunting with confidence—and with as few curveballs as possible.
Do some research online to see if you can identify what you like. Think about your lifestyle and identify which factors will influence you:
Work together with your Epps agent to assemble a list of the top homes to visit and your agent will schedule the showings. This is the most exciting part, but be sure to take personal notes listing the home’s positive and negative qualities. It is amazing how quickly these details can be forgotten, once you start seeing multiple homes. If you find a few houses you like, return for a second or third showing during a different time of day. This extra effort will be worth it as you will be able to experience the home and neighborhood more fully, especially when making such a long-term investment.
Once you find the home you want, you will work with your Epps real estate agent to make an offer. The list price will be a key indicator of the home’s value, but your agent will also provide a market analysis to ensure that the list price matches comparable homes in the area that have recently sold.
Once your contract is accepted, you will proceed through a number of critical stages which include your option period, inspections, the appraisal, and final loan commitment. Your Epps agent will be with you every step of the way to ensure all of the details are being taken care of.
If everything goes as planned, you will then be ready for settlement. You will have selected a title company by this point, and should plan to spend at least an hour or more at the settlement table reviewing all documents, signing, and then finally acquiring the keys to your new home!
