Idaho Home Buying Process

RULE #1   Don't Let the Buying Process Scare You

RULE #2   Get Representation.  You need someone on your side. Need a Real Estate Agent referral?

RULE #3   Educate Yourself.  Ask lots of questions.

Follow these steps with the help of your licensed real estate professional:

    •     Have a counseling session with your agent to map out a game plan

    •     Discuss communication and the follow up systems you will be using

    •     See a Lender to get your financing in place

    •     Review all the documentation required for the transaction

    •     Find a property

    •     Negotiate the transaction, including all contingencies and conditions

    •     Use the inspection period to investigate any issues of concern

    •     Have a Home Inspection completed

    •     Negotiate repairs

    •     Investigate disclosure issues (SPDS, termite, lead based paint, pool rules, etc.)

    •     Arrange for and have repairs completed

    •     Make sure you get an appraisal

    •     Meet with your Escrow Company to arrange the closing

    •     Line up the funds for the closing

    •     Arrange your electricity, phone, water, mail service and insurance

    •     Close, record and move in

The importance of communication is critical - this is a team effort.
You and your agent must work together to co-ordinate all the details. 
Remember, we are in this together!
