Ten Steps to Getting "Under Contract"

Start by SELECTING US as your Buyer's Agents! We will guide you through the home buying process:

1) Sign a Buyers Brokerage Agreement: Without a signed agreement, real estate agents in DC work for the Seller. Sign a Buyer Broker Agreement with a short time period to ensure that your working style and your agent's style are compatible. You can always extend it.

2) Obtain Lender Letter: You don't have to use the lender that provides the letter. Shop and compare rates, products, and services before getting under contract.

3) Define search criteria and choose homes to view: Make a list of what you have presently in your home and what you'd like to have in your new home. Then mark the items that you MUST have. If a couple is buying a home, do this independently and then compare.

4) Write offer with earnest deposit check: Your earnest deposit is applied to your down payment and closing costs at settlement. If you don't honor the contract, the Seller may keep this as damages. This check must be deposited within one week of contract ratification.
