Who should be Involved When Purchasing a Home?

Buying a home is not simply a transaction between the buyer and the seller. While the process can be some what complex, there are a number of professionals that can help make the purchase of your new home go as smoothly as possible.

  • Realtor
  • Lawyer
  • Mortgage Broker / Mortgage Lender
  • Home/Property Appraiser
  • Home Inspector
  • Builder's Representative (if building a new home)

Check out the Market before House Shopping

Before you begin house shopping, check out the market and familiarize yourself with what is available.

Being pre-approved will tell you how much you can afford, so take a look at the real estate listings in the paper or through other real estate publications. By doing this, you will have a good idea of what is available in your price range and what you can expect to view when you start home shopping.

Also, taking a drive in a desirable neighborhood is a good idea as you could stumble upon an open house giving you a better idea of what you want in your new home.

What is an assumable mortgage?

An assumable mortgage is one in which a qualified buyer can take over the mortgage from the current owner on the property being purchased. Assuming a mortgage requires a simple amendment to the mortgage document registered on title. This type of mortgage can offer the qualified buyer with a better than market interest rate in some cases and also cut legal costs associated with obtaining a brand new mortgage.
