Buying a Home

Last Updated on March 5, 2013 by Kathy Rukat Smith

Buying a home can be fun and stressful all at the same time! My job is to help you find a home, keep the transaction on track and to remove as much stress as possible.

Buying a home and the buying process includes finding a real estate agent that you trust, looking at properties and making an offer. Once your offer is accepted, the closing (or escrow process) begins. During that time, you will have your home inspected by a licensed home inspector, another inspector will visit the house to check for termites and other wood destroying insects, your lender will order an appraisal and your attorney will start a title search. You may also want to have the property surveyed so you will know exactly where your lot lines are. You will need to secure homeowners’ insurance prior to closing and schedule your utilities to be turned on in your name.

Lots of things happen in the 30-45 days it takes to get a home closed after your offer gets accepted! Over the next few weeks, I will discuss each step of the home buying process and what you can expect. Ask questions! My job is to help you understand and guide you through the home buying process.

Reviews

Jennifer and Daniel Todd

We were first time home buyers and Kathy helped us find the home of our dreams and made the whole process fun/easy while she did it! We looked at SEVERAL houses – to the point where we felt bad for asking to see another one! However, Kathy took us out each and every time with a smile on her face. She was always available to answer any questions we had by text/email/phone call and the individual attention she gave us made it seem like we were the only clients she had. We really appreciated the positive attitude Kathy brought to the table every time a house let us down in one way or another. We eventually ended up in a house Kathy showed us but we had never looked at because we didn’t think we could afford it! Now we’re a few weeks away from moving in and we are still absolutely amazed that Kathy got us our dream home, in our dream neighborhood, at a dream price. We have already recommended two of our friends to her and we will continue to refer people because there really is no better, nicer or more knowledgeable Realtor out there! Thank you so much Kathy for everything you have done for us!
