buying
Buying a home should be fun!
Let's get started!
First, we’ll meet with you to build your wishlist: what are the most important things you’re looking for in a dream home, and what are your dealbreakers. Then, we’ll set up a custom home search portal where you can see the latest listings and let us know which homes you’d like to tour.
Once you find the right home for you, we’ll work together to create a great offer that fits your goals and gives you an advantage in winning your dream home.
The inspection is a way to protect you, the buyer, from unforeseen expenses. We contract with licensed and experienced inspectors to go over the house with a fine-toothed comb and make sure there aren’t any surprises once the property is yours!
Congratulations! You did it! Now it’s time for your agent to deliver keys, high-fives, and a few gifts, and for you to celebrate in your new home!
Reach out to us and we'll connect you to one of our approved lenders, who will look at your complete financial picture and find out what price point you're comfortable with. Our trusted lending partners can answer any questions you have, and get you a pre-approval to use as you shop for your home.
Now that you're clear on the financials, we'll arrange a time for you to meet with an Empire agent and consult on everything you need to start the process of buying a home, from budget and area, to size, features, and more. Tell us about your dream home, and we'll help you find it!
