The Buyer’s Journey: What to Expect
1. First Meeting
Your journey begins with a meeting with one of our buyer’s agent to discuss your timeline, goals, needs, and wants. During this meeting, your agent will guide you through the buying process, ensuring you’re well-informed. This meeting will help avoid surprises and make sure your questions are answered and you are comfortable before moving forward.
2. Pre-Approval
Connect with a lender to explore financing options, including your down payment, closing costs, and other potential fees. This step helps you prepare financially with no surprises. When you work with a Signature ONE agent, you will have access to lending options from proven sources, tailored to you.

When you’ve found the perfect home, your agent will guide you through drafting a strong offer and negotiating contract terms that put you in the best position while aligning with your home purchase goals.
6. Offer Accepted
With an accepted offer, you’ll deposit earnest money and complete your loan application with your lender within the agreed timeframe.
7. Attorney Approval
When you work with a Signature ONE Realty Group agent, you have access to the best available resources. Your agent will introduce you to a trusted real estate attorney who will review the contract to ensure your interests are protected.
8. Inspections
A professional home inspection is a critical step. Your agent will coordinate the inspection, attend with you, and help negotiate any necessary repairs.
9. Appraisal
A licensed appraiser will evaluate the home’s value for your lender, ensuring your financing requirements are met.
10. Final Steps
You’ll finalize documentation, receive mortgage commitment, and get the “clear to close” from your lender and attorney. A final walkthrough of the home ensures everything is in order before closing.
