The Home Buyer's Checklist

  • Determine your housing needs and wants to determine what types of houses you should be considering.

  • Get your financial picture in focus as soon as possible. Since it is an important component, be aware of your credit situation.

  • Begin the application process by getting pre-qualified and pre-approved from a Mortgage Lender.

  • Familiarize yourself with the various types of housing available: Single family, townhouse, and condo.

  • Make a scorecard for each house to help you keep track of the properties you've seen.

  • Negotiate your best deal using the information you have acquired.

  • Arrange for a home inspection. Protect yourself and do not skip this step!  Learn about home warranties and what they protect.

  • Secure final loan approval and commitment from the lending institution. If you have done your "up-front" work, this should be one of your easiest steps.

  • Do a final walk through of the house.
