Buying Process Overview Checklist

The stages, including a brief description of what is included in each stage, are below. For more information, click through to each step or see the Before checklist for Nomads.

  1. First Meeting – This is the first meeting with your real estate agent where you discuss the paperwork required to buy and sell property in your area, the professional services that your real estate agent offers, where to get the other services you’ll need that your real estate agent does not offer, your real estate goals and formulate a plan to achieve them, how you plan to finance your purchase(s), how to get properties sent to you, which types of properties you want sent to you, how to analyze properties to make sure they’re good properties for you to buy as a Nomad, and some basic information about writing an offer.
  2. Pre-Showings – During this step you’ll discuss what you’ll need prior to going out and looking at homes. It includes getting qualified with your lender, getting a pre-approval letter, discussing Earnest Money and down payments plus going over a mock contract so you’re prepared to write an offer if you happen to see a great property your first time out looking.
  3. Showings – This is what to do relating to seeing properties. It includes how to request showings, what you should do to prepare for looking at homes, what to do at the showings and what to do after the showing.
  4. Writing Offer – This is the process for writing an offer to purchase a property.
  5. Contract To Close – This is the process from when you get an offer accepted up to going to closing on the property.
  6. Closing – This is the formal process of purchasing the property.
  7. Post Closing – These are the processes for what you should do after you’ve purchased your property.

Once you’ve completed the Buying Process, move on to the After checklists.
