1. Meet with a Real Estate Professional
   One of the very first steps of buying a home is to meet with a real estate professional. It’s important to have the right real estate professional by your side. You should start with interviewing them and making sure they are someone you trust and who will have your best interest in mind. After selecting your realtor, you should discuss the type of home you’re looking for, including style, price range, location, needs, and wants. The advantage for YOU as the Buyer, it costs you $0 to hire a real estate professional! In most situations, the agent's commission is paid by the seller of the home.
2. Get Pre-Approved!
   It is super important to get pre-approved. By getting pre-approved you will know what you can afford and is critical to a successful homebuying experience.
3. Search for homes
   This where the fun starts! Your agent will begin to schedule showings based on your initial interview and help you find the perfect home.
4. Make an Offer
   YAY! You found your dream home and are now ready to make an offer. Your agent will prepare the contract based on the price and terms you choose and submit it to the seller.
5. Home Inspection
   After your offer is accepted, it is important to get a home inspection done. Your home inspection report will inform you of hidden issues in the home, which you can then address with the seller. 
6. Appraisal, Title Search, and Mortgage Commitment
   During this time your real estate agent will guide you through the rest of the process which includes appraisal, title search, mortgage commitment, and type up any loose ends to ensure the deal closes quickly and efficiently. 
7. Closing Time
   The closing process finalizes your home purchase. CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE A HOMEOWNER!!!
