The Steps to Buying a Home

by J. Tar

Can buying a home be a stress-free process? Well, we can't guarantee that, but we believe that being informed and knowing the steps involved can certainly help.

You've shopped around and hopefully seen lots of homes and learned about the neighborhood, schools, community benefits, etc. etc. --- and if you have shopped with us, you know we have given you a lot of information about these things -- maybe too much. Now it's time to make a move. You found the perfect home. You already have a mortgage pre-approval. You make an offer.... So what's next?

Every home purchase can be slightly different and some of the steps are different by geographic region, but for the Long Island, New York area the following is a pretty good idea of what to expect.
