Ask yourself these questions:
Make a list of all the features and amenities that you want in your new home or commercial space.
Starting the Loan Process
It is important as a Buyer that you establish some kind of financing before you make any kind of serious offer. The “pre–approval” process allows lenders to take a look at your finances and credit history in order to make a general assumption about your loan amount. Having a good relationship with your lender is paramount, and having a real estate professional involved in your conversations with a lender will be very helpful. During the pre-approval process, take the time to decide if this is the lender with whom you want to do business.
It’s important to have one of our Weis Real Estate Executives involved in the pre-approval portion of your buying experience. We have assisted hundreds of clients through this process and can offer you our experience in translating the banking lingo into plain language.

Finding Your New Home or Commercial Space
Thanks to the efforts of your Realty Executives REALTOR®, internet, print advertising and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), searching for a home or commercial space is becoming easier than ever before. Beginning the search can be a great feeling. But you must be sure to directly communicate what you desire to us, as your professional representative.

Looking for a home or commercial space in an area where you feel comfortable is key. Be sure to tell us to look in specific areas that appeal to you.
Making an Offer
Once you’ve found a property you like, tell your Realty Executive what you like and dislike about it. As your chosen REALTOR®, a Weis Realty Executive will take you through every step of the offer process – from writing the contract, negotiating the price, renegotiating, adding addendums, making the final offer and drawing up the final contract, through inspections – and handing you the keys!
There are three options in purchasing a property:
1. Accept the Seller’s asking price and have your agent write up the contract
2. Reject the Seller’s asking price and have your agent make a different price offer.
3. Offer different terms and have your agent write a contract.
This is all a part of the negotiation process.
Again, communication is essential. It is also important to be realistic when it comes to how much you can afford when making an offer on a property.
Financing
Doing your homework about loans will save you time and money. There are many loans out there to choose from, but it is important to keep in mind several key factors that will help you along the way:
Applying for a loan requires completion of a loan application and specific financial documents, including pay stubs, rental checks and/or tax returns. You can receive a loan from a number of different financial institutions, namely: commercial banks, credit unions, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers, savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks and insurance companies.
Insurance
Insuring your home is like making an investment in your future. You work hard to have a home and homeowners insurance protects you and your family from someone or something taking it all away.
There are many different forms of insurance:
Closing Procedures
The closing process is always changing. It is even referred to as “settlement” or “escrow” in different parts of the country. With increased technology, most closings are completely automated and both parties do not have to be present at the same time to sign.
Closings usually take from 30-60 days to complete. This mainly depends on the Buyer’s financing availability, successful home inspection completion, and various lender conditions (ex. title search, title insurance, termite inspections, surveys and appraisals).
The closing process is the transfer of the title of the property from the Seller to the Buyer. The Buyer will receive the keys to the home or the deed to the land, while the Seller receives payment for the property. The amount the Seller receives is based upon the amount that is still owed on the mortgage, any outstanding fees or taxes and any additional closing costs. All legal papers are filed with the local recording office. It is this step where the Buyers and Sellers do very little.
It is important to take a final walk through the property to make sure the property’s condition has not changed. It is equally important for both the buyer and seller to make sure the paperwork they are signing reflects the agreement of the original sale.
Settling In
You have unpacked boxes, arranged your furniture and feel complete with your moving task. What’s next? There is always an adjustment period when you move. It is important to understand that what you, your spouse and/or children may be feeling is completely normal.
