Whether you are a first time buyer or veteran home owner, Melanie Day's attention to detail from start to finish will guide you through the buyer experience.
This checklist recap of the steps it takes to secure the keys to that dream Outer Banks home!
Decide to Buy
SELECT A TOWN ON THE OUTER BANKS? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD? START THERE
CREATE A BUDGET. DETERMINE YOUR SHORT AND LONG TERM FINANCIAL NUMBERS
LIST YOUR NEEDS VS. WANTS. THE TWO ARE VERY DIFFERENT THINGS
PRE-APPROVAL SHOWS SELLERS (AND YOUR AGENT) YOU'RE SERIOUS
YOUR BUDGET SHOULD INCLUDE YOUR DOWN PAYMENT AND EXTRAS LIKE APPRAISAL & INSPECTION COSTS
House Hunting - the Fun Part!
TOGETHER AS A TEAM YOUR NEED & WANTS LIST, LOCATION AND STYLE WILL BE REFINED
VIRTUAL AND/OR IN-PERSON VIEWING TOURS WILL BE SCHEDULED UNTIL THE ONE IS FOUND
Making an Offer
A STRONG AND COMPETITIVE OFFER PACKAGE WILL ENSURE THAT YOU GET THE BEST TERMS AND PRICE POSSIBLE
Traction Management
ONCE UNDER CONTRACT, THE INSPECTION WILL BE COORDINATED AND THE INSPECTION REPORT WILL BE REVIEW WITH YOU
DURING THIS STEP THE EARNEST MONEY IS DELIVERED
THE FINAL WALK-THROUGH - MAKING SURE THE HOME IS MOVE-IN READY
CLOSINGS CAN BE DONE IN PERSON ON ARRANGED REMOTELY
GET THE KEYS AND ENJOY YOUR OUTER BANKS PROPERTY
Move In & Beyond
MAKE YOUR NEW PROPERTY YOUR OWN!
