OFFER TO PURCHASE
Once you find your home, secure an accepted price and terms with a contract (offer to purchase). The offer to purchase is typically subject to all or part of the following:

  • Satisfactory home inspection
  • Satisfactory review of condominium documents and budget or home owner association, if applicable
  • Satisfactory purchase and sales agreement
  • Mortgage contingency for financing approval
  • Pest inspection
Upon signing the offer to purchase, buyers typically have secured an attorney, bank representation (if applicable) and a licensed home inspector. All inspections should be satisfied prior to signing the purchase and sales agreement. (STEP 3)

[BACK TO TOP]

PURCHASE AND SALES AGREEMENT
It's time to sign the purchase and sales agreement. At this point, all terms of the sale are fully agreed upon and the primary remaining contingency is the mortgage commitment (STEP 4).

[BACK TO TOP]

MORTGAGE COMMITMENT
Upon approval for your mortgage, the banks closing attorney will execute a title search on the subject property and prepare all closing documents, including a HUD statement which outlines the accounting of the transaction.

[BACK TO TOP]

CLOSING
At the closing you'll need identification, the remaining balance of funds in a bank check (see HUD statement), and a moving truck! Typically the closing is held at the office of the bank attorney and takes about 1-1.5 hours.
