The Home Inspection:

Once you have made an offer on a home, you will need to schedule a home inspection, conducted by an independent authorized inspector. It is extremely import to hire a reputable inspector so that you know exactly what you are buying. Do not hesitate to ask friends, family, and co-workers for advice. If you are satisfied with the results of the inspection, then you can proceed to the Purchase and Sales agreement. If the inspector finds problems with the property, you may walk away from this purchase or you may want to your Realtor to try to negotiate with the seller to lower the price, or to have the seller pay for certain repairs. Banks and Short Sales usually will not pay for repairs or give back any money so the home inspection is done so you the buyer knows exactly what they are buying.

If you are satisfied with the results of the inspection, then you can proceed to the Purchase and Sales agreement. If the inspector finds problems with the property, you may not want to continue with the purchase or you may want to try to negotiate with the seller to lower the price, or to pay for certain repairs.

Appraisal:

In order to finance your new home your lender will require you to get an appraisal of the house you want to buy, to make sure it is worth the money that you are borrowing. They will order an appraisal from their appraiser that person will get the bank the information it needs for this part of your loan.

Homeowner's Insurance:

Lenders require that you have homeowners insurance, to protect both your interests and theirs. Like everything else, be sure to shop around for insurance that fits your needs.

Settlement or Closing:

Finally, you are ready for the closing. Be sure to read everything before you sign! You should have your attorney read over the Purchase and Sales Agreement before the closing. I will be with you at the closing to ensure that all is in order.

Would you like an urban location, perhaps in Boston proper, or did you have a suburban town in mind?
