Finding an agent you can trust and rely upon is the first and most
important step in the buying process. Tappe White Real Estate
Services has made that search easier for you by only teaming with
those agents who accurately reflect the purpose, mission, and vision
of our organization.
Once you chose your Tappe White agent, an initial meeting prior to
house hunting will provided much needed information to the agent
concerning your needs and current situation. Laying a solid
foundation makes the rest of the buying process much smoother.
Once you have met with your Tappe White agent and feel confident
that he/she will well represent you in the buying process, and once
the agent is able to gain an accurate understanding of your needs,
an agreement should be established concerning expectations from both
parties.
In order to find the best home for you in the timeframe you
request, both parties must be committed to the effort. A buyer’s
representation agreement enables your Tappe White agent to provide
you with in-depth counsel concerning the offer and contract. Legally
in the state of Texas, if a buyer’s representation agreement is not
present, then the agent must still consider the best interest of the
seller.
With an agreement in place, you can feel confident that your
Tappe White agent will do everything within his/her power to help
you find and buy the home of your dreams.
In addition to finding a good real estate agent, it is also
vital to the buying process to establish a solid relationship with a
reputable mortgage lender. Any lender your Tappe White agent
recommends will be one of the best in the field, with a solid
reputation.
Certain mortgage opportunities, you might find online or on
television, that seem to good to be true, probably are. Predatory
lending and mortgage fraud are major issues in the real estate
community. With the lead of your Tappe White agent, you will be safe
in the hands of a lender you can count on, with the confidence in
knowing that you received a competitive rate for the service
provided.
Before you begin to search for your next home, it’s important to
clarify what price range you should be looking in. Obtaining lender
approval enables you to look for the home of your dreams knowing
that when you find it, it can be yours. There’s no worse feeling
than finding the perfect home only then to determine that you do not
qualify for the loan to fund it. Your Tappe White agent, along with
your mortgage lender, will make this process quick and easy so that
you can begin the hunt!
Without proper leadership from your agent, the home viewing
process may become overwhelming. What began as an exciting adventure
may quickly become your biggest nightmare. This dilemma, however, is
completely unnecessary.
Your Tappe White agent will help simplify the home viewing
process by listening carefully to your needs and desires and will
ONLY show you those homes that fit your description. Using their
expertise, they will also provide you with additional information
concerning your home options to help make your decision as clear as
possible.
Once you find your home, your Tappe White agent will do
everything they can to help you get it! He/she will do the research
necessary to determine an acceptable and competitive offering price
that will give you the greatest opportunity to achieve success with
your contract.
Once an offer is made, your Tappe White agent will be right
beside you through the entire negotiation process to make sure that
you feel confident and secure in the final investment agreement.
With pre-approval already complete, the final loan approval
process should be fairly simple. Your mortgage lender will give you
a detailed list of the information they need from you to finalize
the loan. With solid communication taking place between you, your
lender, and your Tappe White agent, you can be sure that your loan
will be complete in plenty of time for closing.
Even when you find the home of your dreams, you want to make
sure that you are getting what you expect. There may be issues with
the property that you cannot see without the direction of a
professional. Your Tappe White agent will help you choose a
well-qualified, reliable inspector who will provide an in-depth
inspection of your future home and document any concerns of which
you need to be aware.
If issues are discovered, your Tappe White agent will help you
determine the appropriate response.
Closing time should be the best time in the entire transaction.
Unfortunately, it is often times the worst. Unless you have a good
agent, a reliable lender, and a proven title services professional,
closing dates are often stressful, and in many cases, delayed.
Your Tappe White agent will make certain, with your agreement,
that the proper relationships are in place for a successful closing.
At the end of the buying process, we want your experience with
Tappe White Real Estate Services to be one that earns us the right
to be your real estate company for life. A new home can be an
incredible blessing. We wish you many years of happiness!
