STEPS TO BUYING A HOME IN OCEAN CITY, NJ
The Bader-Collins Associates are here to guide you every step of the way through the buying process. Here’s the shortened version:
- DETERMINE YOUR PRICE TARGET
How much do you want to spend? If you are planning on financing your purchase, it’s important to speak to a lender to get pre-qualified before your home search. Your lender will help you crunch principal and interest payment amounts as well as advise you as to what you can afford. The Bader-Collins Associates can recommend a lender if you don’t have one.
- CONTACT THE BADER-COLLINS ASSOCIATES TO REVIEW CRITERIA
The Bader-Collins Associates will assist in narrowing down your search and offer advice regarding current or upcoming listings that may suit your needs now or in the future. You will receive a hand picked list of homes we feel are the best options on the market that match your criteria.
- SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO VIEW
Once you’ve made your selection it’s time to take a tour to find your dream home. The Bader-Collins Associates will make recommendations as to their opinion of value for each listing, provide comparable sold properties and point out key features.
- MAKE AN OFFER
Once you’ve found the right home, the Bader-Collins Associates will guide through the offering stage, suggest certain strategies to protect your interest and negotiate on your behalf to achieve the best price possible.
- COME TO AN AGREEMENT
After the negotiations are complete and a meeting of the minds has been met, it’s time to finalize the terms and conditions in the form of a written contract either via a realtor prepared agreement we draft or an attorney prepared contract and sign on the dotted line.
- SATISFY THE CONTINGENCIES
The Bader-Collins Associates will coordinate all inspections and make sure the contingencies (such as deposits, home and termite inspection, mortgage commitment, furniture inventory, etc) are being met on time as per the terms in the agreement of sale. We will also help you set up your insurances and transfer utilities.
- SEE YOU AT CLOSING
During the process you’ll be sending the title company or closing handler all the necessary documentation they’ll need to ensure a successful closing. The Bader-Collins Associates will be there every step of the way. See you at closing!
