In this week’s episode, we are going to talk about each step to buying a home in Maine. If you are buying a new home or if you are a first-time home buyer, this video will walk you through the steps to buying a home. The first step is definitely to speak with a lender and get your financing in order. In this market, you want to make sure you have all of your ducks in a row before looking at properties so you can be ready to make an offer right away! Figure out how much you can afford, and what options you have when buying a house. If all goes well they will provide you with a pre-approval letter that will state you are ready to start your home buying process. Next is the time to narrow down your search. We recommend driving by properties you are interested in and getting a feel for what you truly want. Once you have narrowed down the search then we go look at the properties! Once you find a property you like we are going to make an offer on the property! If that offer is accepted you are officially under contract. When you are under contract you will take care of the business of buying a house, such as the due diligence period where you can have a home inspection and then negotiate to have any issues fixed. Then you will be clear to close! Closing is pretty simple because everything is done and you are there to sign the paperwork! Then you are officially a homeowner! If you have any questions let us know down below and remember if you Make Maine Your Home, you don’t have to do it alone!
