The home-buying process

Six practical stages—from getting ready to getting the keys.

Start my estimate
01

Prepare

Review your credit, income, debts, savings, and monthly comfort zone. Avoid opening new credit before closing.

02

Get preapproved

A licensed lender verifies your documents and issues a preapproval that helps define your price range.

03

Plan your search

Choose your areas, home type, must-haves, and deal breakers. Your real estate professional can help focus the search.

04

Tour and offer

Compare homes, review disclosures and neighborhood factors, then write an offer with price, terms, and protections.

05

Inspect and secure financing

Complete inspections, negotiate eligible repairs, finalize the loan, and satisfy appraisal and underwriting conditions.

06

Close and get the keys

Review your Closing Disclosure, complete the final walk-through, sign, fund, and receive possession as agreed.

Documents buyers commonly need

Photo ID, recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, bank statements, and documentation for other income or assets.
