Mathis Title Company, a Fairfax title company, recently released a blog listing the important steps in the home buying process. These steps are important to know prior to buying a home to ensure the home buying process goes in your favor.

Going through the steps of the home buying process can be unpredictable depending on the real estate laws within the state you live. Knowing what to expect in this process will help you understand what you need to have prepared, as well as the duties of everyone else involved in the process. This begins with getting your finances in order. Checking your credit report before the process will prevent any sudden problems coming about that will cause confusion. Once that is in order, it is time to get familiar with the mortgage industry. This will help you assess which loan or insurance plan works best for you and your needs. It is also important to get pre-approval for your mortgage so you can be considered first by a home seller.

Once those steps are completed, you can start looking into your wants and needs for a house. Make a pros and cons list between houses that catch your eye and make sure to consider the resale value. Then, contact a local real estate agent in order to receive the best help and guidance throughout the process. Once you start actually searching for homes, an experienced real estate agent can help discover available listings and conduct a thorough vetting process to make sure you are buying a home with a good foundation and long-term stability. The last step is to consider hiring a title agent. Title agents will help you acquire title insurance as well as assist in the transfer of ownership process.
