A Guide to Buying Your First Home!
Ready to buy your first home in the Indianapolis area? Whittington & Co. LOVES to help first time home buyers make their dreams a reality!
Before you start searching for homes online, it's important to take the first step to house hunting: Getting pre-approved for a mortgage.
Your pre-approval will tell you what you can afford and what your monthly payment will be, so it's important to determine this before you start searching for your new home.
A Pre-approval is good for about 30-90 days, so once you're ready, contact us and we’ll introduce you to lenders that we know and trust. Once you've got your pre-approval letter in hand, it's time to start the search!
Before we hop into the home search, we like to sit down with you for a buyer consultation. We want to talk about your Wants VS Needs, the current market conditions and get to know you better, so we can best help you!
Once we’ve established your budget and what you're looking for, we will set you up on a search so you can receive an email the second a home that fits your criteria goes live. When you find homes you like, send us the information and we'll get showings set up!
After touring houses and choosing the one you love, it's time to make an offer. We’ll work with you to make an offer with the best price and terms that make sense for you!
Have more questions about buying a home or what happens after making an offer? Reach out to us today! We’ll guide you every step of the way.
