Step 3 - Get Pre-Approved

Don't be disappointed and waste time by looking at homes you can't afford.  Having a pre-approval also makes you more creditable in the eyes of sellers.

Get pre-qualified by a local lender that you can meet with face-to-face.  We can help you find one - just ask.


Step 4 - Make an Offer

Your Great Lakes NY Realtor® will help you write a purchase offer and  negotiate the best deal for you with the best terms.  Remember that price isn't all that's important. 
Step 5 - Get Attorney Representation

We recommend that you have your own attorney to review the legal documents and represent you at closing.  If you don't have an attorney, we can help you find one.

Your Great Lakes NY Realtor® will monitor the progress of your purchase and help you to meet deadlines through the close of sale. 

We take the hassle out of buying a home!
