TAKE 5: BUYING ON A BUDGET

Brush up on the process, resources and strategies for buying a home on a budget with this 5-minute lesson.

THE HOMEBUYING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP.

No one expects you to be a homebuying expert. That’s our job. We’ll guide you through the process, one step at a time:

Determine your budget. We’ll help you decide how much you’re willing to spend, and what’s realistic for your budget.

Take our free Homebuyers Workshop. Get more details about the homebuying process and a coupon for $375 off a home appraisal (subtracted from your closing costs).

Get a True Preapproval. Our thorough preapproval process prepares you for confident house hunting. You’ll get a preapproval letter that will assure sellers you’re ready to buy.

Find your home. Connect with a real estate professional and let the hunt begin!

Find your mortgage. We’ll advise you on the best type of mortgage for your budget, your lifestyle, and your future plans.

Apply. We make it easy. Most of the application process can be completed online, and there are no application fees. Apply by September 30 and we’ll waive the $745 processing and underwriting fees.

Close. At the closing, you sign the papers that make it all official. We’ll make sure you understand every word…and then celebrate your success!
