Congratulations! Buying your first house is a huge step. It is often the biggest purchase you will ever make in your lifetime. Home is where we live, where we sleep, where we build our lives – and it feels good to own that space.
Your first purchase is filled with unknowns and questions. Your Grace Realty Group Broker is there to guide you through the process, answer your frantic phone calls, and let you focus on the exciting part: you are getting keys to your first house.
When you are purchasing a home, you might feel overwhelmed by the steps. A real estate broker is your guide from start to finish. Your real estate broker shows you the timeline and process in a way that an app or Google Search can’t do.
You have the idea: I want to buy my first house. How long is it until you are using your own set of keys to open up the front door? The timeline from the idea to close of escrow can be several weeks to months. It depends on a variety of factors like how quickly to do you get in contact with a lender, how many houses you want to see before you find one you like, and whether it is a buyer’s or seller’s market.
Some buyers look at homes for 8-12 weeks before finding the perfect house whereas other buyers walk into an open house and choose to buy that house. Everyone’s home buying experience is unique.
The timeline to buy your first house is what your REALTOR and lender can guide you through. You do not have to be the real estate expert — that is why you have an agent representing your needs and acting as your fiduciary.
