Buying a house for the first time?
Category Article
Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also be overwhelming. We recommend considering the following steps in the process:
Assess Your Finances: Determine how much you can afford by evaluating your income, savings, and expenses. Consider getting pre-approved for a mortgage to understand your budget. Give us a call to put you in contact with one of our associates able to assist.
Research the Market and connect with one of our Vermaak Properties agents: Explore different neighbourhoods, property types, and prices. Look into factors like schools, amenities, and resale value. Our team of friendly agents are one call away to assist with guidance on the above.
Start House-Hunting: Let us assist with informing you about our open houses, arrange for suitable viewing slots, and explore our online listings to find properties that match your criteria.
Make an Offer: Once you find a suitable property, we will work with you to make an offer based on current market conditions and negotiate further with the seller from there.
Get a Home Inspection: We can put you in touch with a home inspector if you would like to assess the property's condition in depth and identify any issues that may affect its value or safety. The fee relating to the inspection is marginal, relative to the peace of mind.
Secure Financing: Our team can connect you with associates that is able to assist with finalising your mortgage approval and securing finance for the purchase.
Closing the Deal: Once the deal is handed over to the attorneys, we will communicate progress relating to signing of the necessary paperwork, payment of closing costs to the attorney's trust, and completing the registration process in order to officially become a homeowner.
We look forward to assisting you in the home-buying process to help achieve your dream of owning a home.
