Our goal is to ensure that you get the best deal possible. Once both parties reach an agreement and sign off on the Contract of Sale, the deal is considered fully executed.

According to the contract, you will be given a specified time frame to carry out inspections and negotiations.

Once the contract is signed you will complete your mortgage application and submit all required documents to your lender right away. The lender will then provide us with a written mortgage commitment and make you aware of your final monthly payment and down payment amount.

You will also choose a title company who will order the title on your behalf. When we receive the report, we will review it and inform the seller of any liens or judgments.
