IF YOU'VE NEVER BOUGHT A HOUSE BEFORE,
much of the jargon and terminology could prove overwhelming. After all, who would give "discount points" or “buyer agency” the slightest thought unless they absolutely had to? We've arranged a short primer on the basics of buying a home as a series of questions and answers that try to address the basic issues with which every home buyer must grapple. Knowing everything isn’t important. What is important is having good people on your team – people who know what you need to know so that you can solve the problems that invariably arise. If you are a buyer and want to get started, here is a list of questions that are answered in our Buyer Book.
1. What is RE/MAX Connected and why do you need us?
2. Should I rent or buy?
3. Where do the tax benefits come in?
4. Are there any special loan programs for me?
5. Why work with a RE/MAX Connected mortgage broker?
6. How do I figure out which type of loan makes sense?
7. Which type of buyer am I?
8. How does the lender decide whether I get a loan or not?
9. Why is the credit approval process important?
10. How much cash will I need upfront?
11. How long is the closing process?
12. What is the function of the realtor?
13. How do I decide where I will live, what kind of home I will buy?
14. What is the buying procedure?
15. What is the closing process?
16. How do I know the house won't fall apart?
17. What is closing?
18. When do I take possession?
19. What is buyer’s remorse?
