BUYING A HOME
Virginia Home Buying Guide & Tools
Are you ready to embark on the exciting journey of buying your dream home in the beautiful Hampton Roads region? At Earl Sanders Realty, we are your trusted partners in making your homeownership come true. Our process ensures that every step of your home-buying journey is smooth, stress-free, and tailored to your unique needs.
LOAN PRE-APPROVAL
Before you start your house-hunting adventure, it’s essential to determine your budget and financing options. Our expert team will guide you through the loan pre-approval process, helping you secure the best mortgage rates and terms, so you can shop with confidence.
INITIAL COUNSELING SESSION
Your journey begins with a personal consultation. We take the time to understand your preferences, desires, and must-haves. This session is all about YOU – your lifestyle, your vision, and your priorities. With this information, we can customize your search and help you make informed decisions.
Search/View/Choose Home
Now the excitement truly begins! We’ll curate a list of homes that align with your preferences and schedule viewings at your convenience. You can also use this website to search for homes. It’s free and easy and contains all homes that are for sale in the Hampton Roads area. Our experienced agents will accompany you on tours, providing expert insights and answering any questions you may have. We won’t rest until you find the perfect place to call home.
SUBMIT CONTRACT/OFFER
Once you’ve found “the one,” we’ll craft a competitive and well-thought-out offer that represents your best interests. At this point, the buyer traditionally includes $500 as Good Faith Money or Earnest Money Deposit (EMD). This check does not get processed until the buyer and seller agree to the terms. If the seller accepts the offer, the home will be taken off the market.
NEGOTIATE
Our team is your advocate in the negotiation process, leveraging our market knowledge and experience to secure the best possible deal for you. You’ll have three options at this point: accept the offer, make changes and send back a counteroffer, or reject the offer. We’ll handle all the back-and-forth to make the process as stress-free as possible.
RATIFIED CONTRACT
Congratulations! You’ve successfully negotiated a deal. A copy of the contract will be sent to you, your lender, and the title company/attorney. We’ll guide you through the final steps to ensure all necessary documents are in order and assist with inspections and any required repairs. Our goal is to reach a ratified contract that satisfies all parties involved, allowing you to move forward with confidence.
