Thinking of Buying?

  -  Call on type property you want.

  -  Set up an appointment to make viewing property easier on you, the seller, and an agent.

*If you decide to purchase, follow these steps:*

• Be honest with the agents, let them know your finances and debts. They are there to help you.
  They are familiar with different finances available and the criteria for each.
• Have an agent prepare an offer signed by you.
• Be prepared to make a good faith deposit. It will be returned to you if offer is not accepted. If accepted, the deposit will be applied towards purchase price.
• Make sure you receive an estimated closing cost statement.
• If financing is needed, make sure a mortgage contingency is included with your offer.
• To insure clear title, make sure a title search is done.  Title insurance is a wise investment, also.

The professionals at Really Rural Real Estate can answer any questions you may have.
