A home purchase may be your largest financial transaction to date, so it's important to make the right decisions and keep an eye on the details. With the assistance of your real estate agent and relationship manager, it should be an efficient, pleasant, and ultimately rewarding experience.
Count on your real estate agent to:
Preview available homes to weed out those that are overpriced or undesirable in some other way.
Present the homes that suit your needs as you've defined them.
Help you determine the difference between a "good buy" and a property which, because of its nature (neighborhood, market appeal, etc.), might have to be discounted if you decide to sell in the future.
Count on your relationship manager to:
Get the appropriate loan for you at the best rates and fees. This will save you significant money "up front" and throughout the years to come.
Keep you informed of your loan status throughout the entire process.
Keep your real estate agent informed of our loan progress.
Count on yourself to:
Keep your real estate agent informed of any questions or concerns as they develop.
Keep the process moving by providing documentation and decisions as soon as reasonably possible. By doing so, many of the details are taken care of early in the process so you can comfortably concentrate on any last-minute details or events that require your attention.
