Finding the Right Home

The home buying process in California is different than most other states in the country. An offer is invariably made in writing, accompanied by a deposit check for 3% of offer price as a measure of ‘good faith’. The agent then presents the offer to the sellers and their agents. The buyer and seller never really get to meet.

Before then, a good agent will conduct an interview with the buyer to ensure he/she is ready and able to buy a home and is aware of the implications. The agent will also require full details of the home the buyer is looking for. This gives the agent a clear picture to take the buyer to the ideal home he/she is looking for. No good agent proceeds without an initial qualifying interview. The agent will then take the buyer through the loan process. An approved loan puts the buyer in a strong negotiating position.
