The Key to a Successful Home Purchase

Don't underestimate the value of a great home-buying team. A good mortgage consultant and Realtor® partner can make your next home buying experience one to remember.

Some professionals you need on your team include:

Real Estate Professional: A Real Estate Professional can help you find the right home for you, in your price range, without wasting time looking at homes that don't fit your needs. Their expertise and knowledge of the local area, price range and available properties will be invaluable when making your final decision to purchase.

Mortgage Professional: Your Mortgage Consultant will work with you to establish a plan that meets your home buying needs and your home financing goals. Your Axiom Financial Mortgage Consultant will begin processing your loan to give you a fast mortgage pre-approval. You'll know how much you can buy and what your monthly payments will be - no surprises.

Appraiser: Your lender will choose an appraiser from their list of approved appraisers. As independent licensed professionals, appraisers will compare the property you're considering to others in the area with similar features to determine a fair market value.

Home Inspector: A Home Inspector is an experienced individual who will inspect the property and report any findings that require additional attention or are not up to code. An inspector will not offer to perform repair work. Often, your real estate agent may offer a referral to a trusted professional.

Title Company: The escrow officer, working for the Title Company and usually chosen by your real estate agent, does a title search on your chosen property to prevent fraudulent sales. They also search for any problems with the title that could prevent the sale of the property. Finally, an escrow officer conducts the settlement appointment where you will sign the documents required to purchase your home.
