Jeff’s Timeline to Possession

As your real estate agent, I will guide you through the process of purchasing your new home step by step. First, we will start by looking at available properties that match your criteria. Once we find a home that you love, we will make an offer to the seller. If the offer is accepted, we will move onto the conditional sale of the home. This is where we will ensure that all necessary inspections, appraisals, and financing are in order before finalizing the sale. Once all conditions are met, the sale will be considered final, and the home will be officially yours! Throughout the process, we will also discuss any associated costs, such as closing costs, to ensure that you are fully informed. With my guidance and expertise, you can purchase your new home easily and confidently.
