Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make — and it should be an exciting and rewarding experience. At Wade House Realty Group, we’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you feel confident and informed throughout the process.
1. Consultation & Pre-Approval
We’ll start with a conversation about your goals, needs, and budget. Then we’ll connect you with trusted local lenders to get pre-approved — so you’ll know exactly what you can afford before we begin the search.
2. Home Search
With your wish list in mind, we’ll set up a personalized search and schedule showings that fit your lifestyle. You’ll also get access to the newest listings the moment they hit the market.
3. Making an Offer
When you find the right home, we’ll guide you through writing a competitive offer, negotiating on your behalf, and navigating contingencies like inspections and appraisals.
4. Under Contract
Once your offer is accepted, we’ll handle the details — inspections, deadlines, paperwork, and communication with the lender, attorney, and seller’s agent — so you can focus on what matters.
5. Closing Day
The best part! You’ll sign the final documents, receive your keys, and officially become a homeowner. And we’ll be right there to celebrate with you.

When you are ready to buy a home, start by making a wish list and setting a budget. Depending on your finances, you may need to choose a lender to get pre-approved for a loan so you can better understand your buying power. The pre-approval letter will also illustrate your financial readiness to sellers and make your offers more compelling.

When you find a home you love, it’s time to submit an offer. Once your offer is submitted by your agent and accepted (typically after some negotiation), the next steps are moving through the inspection, appraisal, and closing processes in the most stress-free way possible. In addition to partnering with experts in each of these fields, having a knowledgeable agent to oversee the escrow process and ensure each deadline is being met on time is critical. You can rest assured that your agent is always acting in your best interest with a dedicated buyers agreement in place.
With the right support, each step of the homebuying process will feel seamless and easy so that you can focus on getting the keys, throwing a housewarming party, and making lasting memories in your new home!
