What are the steps to buying a house and closing on it?
The first and most important is to get with a Professional Realtor. You cannot imagine the list of thiings that they do for you. To begin to list the dozens of items that the Real Estate firms do would take another entire web site. We are fortunate in South West Louisiana to have professional Realtors we can work with. Once this is done, tell them what type of home you’re looking for, and the neighborhood you would like to live in. Once that is done, PREQUALIFYING is the next step. This is something that can be done on this site! This will tell the Realtor and yourself what type of monthly payment you can afford. This also is a form that your Realtor will attach to any offers you make on properties. This shows the owners of the property that you can afford and have the means to purchase their property. Without having this type of information, most sellers or their Realtors are not anxious to take their property off of the market.
