Buying a home is an exciting journey—but it’s also a process with several steps, each important to your success as a buyer. As an Associate Broker with the Mary D’Angelo Homes Team at Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, I’m here to help you understand what to expect, from start to finish.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the typical home-buying timeline in Monroe County, New York
Before you start shopping, it’s essential to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This step gives you a clear budget and shows sellers you’re serious.
The timeline here depends on your criteria and the local market. Whether you’re looking for your forever home or something to grow into, finding the right property can take time.
Once you’ve found a home you love, you’ll submit an offer. Depending on the seller’s response and any counteroffers, negotiations can move quickly—or take a bit longer.
After your offer is accepted, your lender will begin the full underwriting process. This includes an appraisal, title work, and final approval.
This is the last step—checking the property before you sign the final documents and receive the keys to your new home
No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to walk you through each step. From helping you get pre-approved to handing you the keys, I’ll make sure your home-buying experience is smooth and informed.
