Some Helpful Tips

When buying a home, you want the process to go as smoothly as possible. Here are a few helpful tips on how to make that happen:

• Research your buying decision thoroughly, especially consider location, nearby schools, shopping, public transportation, neighborhood property values, and crime rates.
• Check your credit report for unexpected blemishes and assess your finances to make sure the home is within your price range.
• Insist on a home inspection by a professional inspector of your choice – not the seller’s.
• Make sure the home and its appliances are in good working order and resolve any repair disagreements.
• Provide a copy of your new homeowners policy to your lender at least one week before closing.
• Contact your attorney if your lender asks for the payment of any outstanding consumer bills before closing.
• Notify your attorney immediately if you are planning to use a power of attorney. This must be approved before closing.
• Give your attorney a copy of your contract so that any potential issues can be corrected.
• Make sure that you have notified the appropriate utilities that you are moving so they can turn them on for you in your new home as quickly as possible.
• If you are required to bring funds to closing, please bring a cashier’s check for that amount.

Closing Tips

The closing is the last, and perhaps the most intimidating, step homebuyers must complete before becoming official homeowners. To ensure that it goes smoothly, you should always arrive at the closing prepared. This means you should come with proper identification, settlement and title insurance documents, proof of relevant insurance, an estimate of closing costs prepared by your attorney, and a cashier’s check to pay for these costs.
