five steps to buying a home with Butters Real Estate

1. Get Pre-approved for a mortgage

Decide the best type of loan for you and which one you’ll qualify for. Get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval letter shows seller and agents that you're a serious buyer who can get financing.

2. start house hunting

We will help you search for houses within your budget. We’ll define your must-haves and preferences, then explore homes that match your goals. I’ll schedule showings and provide insights on each property.

3. make an offer & negotiate

Once you’ve found “the one,” I’ll help you craft a competitive offer based on current market conditions. I’ll also negotiate terms to ensure you get the best possible deal.

4. get a home inspection & appraisal

After your offer is accepted, we’ll schedule a home inspection to check for any issues and your lender will order an appraisal. Based on the results, we may request repairs, credits, or adjust terms before moving forward.

5. closing day — Finalize & celebrate

We’ll coordinate with your lender, title company, and all parties to finalize paperwork and transfer ownership. Once everything is signed and funded, I’ll hand you the keys to your new home—congratulations!
