Homebuying Process 1. Get Pre-Approved: Meet with a loan professional and find out how much home you can afford based on your income and down payment. Submit an application and the required documents and get a loan pre-approval. This will make any offers you make more credible in a buyer’s mind since they know you are ready and able to buy. 2. Find a Good Realtor®: Interview at least 3 real estate professionals and choose one that you feel has the market knowledge, integrity, and who understands your goals. Sign the Exclusive Buyer Representation Agreement. 3. Go Looking for Houses: Now the fun begins! Based on the type of home you need and your financial situation, your real estate broker will present you with homes currently for sale. You will pick the homes you feel are a good fit, then your broker will schedule a tour. 4. You Found It! You’ve fallen in love, it’s the perfect home. Now it’s time to make an offer. Your broker will help you submit an offer to buy including an offer price you feel represents a fair market value. Your broker will present the offer to the sellers and negotiate the terms. You may have to negotiate a few rounds. While this can be nervewracking, be patient and don’t overpay. You need to love the deal as much as you love the home!
5. Offer Accepted: Once the offer is agreed to by the seller, you have 5 days to get all of your home inspections completed. Make sure you understand what is included in the home inspection. If something important is not included, such as a well and septic system, you will want to schedule a separate inspection using an expert in that field. Negotiate repairs for any major items that may be revealed by the inspection. If you love the home, avoid including minor items on your punch list. 6. Submit Your Loan: Your Loan Officer will submit a completed loan package to the lender and order the appraisal. Your Loan Officer will review the terms and any final conditions with you. 7. Remove Contingencies: You will work with your loan officer to remove any additional contingencies that are needed to be clear to close. This may include appraisal, homeowners insurance and verification of employment to name a few. Your lender prepares the closing documents and final numbers so you are clear to close. 8. Close the Deal! You and your attorney will meet with the seller and their attorney and sign the loan documents. You will bring the balance of your down payment. The lender will wire funds and the sale will be closed. 9. Congratulations! You’re a homeowner. Once the recording is final, the home is yours.

What clients are saying about Paul Molidor “I couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Paul! He was communicative and proactive from start to finish, always a step ahead and quick to answer every question I had along the way. As a first-time buyer, that guidance made all the difference — he walked me through each stage of the process so I always knew what to expect. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable about the market, he’s also just a genuinely warm, family-oriented person, which made the whole process feel personal rather than transactional. I always felt like he had my best interests at heart. If you’re looking for an agent who combines real expertise with real care, I can’t recommend him enough!” —Alison A.
“Paul recently helped me purchase my first home and I cannot say enough good things about my experience! As a first time home buyer, the process can be very overwhelming, especially in this market, but he made everything extremely seamless and acted as a true partner in the process. Paul is very trustworthy and I really felt like he had my back, he was very communicative, knowledgeable, and consultative and he made sure I got a great deal on my new home that I absolutely LOVE. I feel very grateful to have gotten the chance to work with Paul and highly recommend him, especially for first time buyers!” —Melissa N.
