Buying Your Mission Viejo Home Is A Series Of "Yeses" Not One Big Decision

This is one of the first things I tell Mission Viejo Home Buyers when we meet. Finding a home to write an offer on is the very first step in this process....not the last step.

Understanding the entire process of Home Buying can really demystify and provide comfort that there are many opportunities to change their minds. As long as the answer to the questions are "Yes" we keep moving toward the close...and the first "No" we move on.

  • Yes....I want to write an offer on this home
  • Yes....I will accept the counter offer price
  • Yes...I like the results of the inspection report
  • Yes...I like the loan rate and terms I got
  • Yes... the final walk-through went great

Yes...I'm ready to close. Of course there are many smaller stages to these items. If the inspection report does find some things we don't like....then there are request for repairs and negotiations. And if it's a short sale....we might need to consider new terms from the short sale lenders, such as a higher price or cash contribution. But again....once we hit a "No" we close escrow and move onto another property.

I really think this takes the fear out of the Mission Viejo Home Buying Process....I hope so! I want my buyers to feel comfortable during the entire transaction, keeping things as a simple "Yes" or "No" brings it down to a simple level which just makes sense.

Hi Karen, This simple plan for your buyers will get them into their new home smoothly. I like the idea of moving on to the next deal whenever you get a "No".

Karen  The big decision to buy a home only starts the process - you've explined all the steps along the road very well

Hi Karen.  This is SO true!  The loan process is a biggie in here too.  There are separate yes's and no's on the financing side too.  Certainly, as information in the process is unveiled there is a similar series of yes's and no's related to fees, P,I,T and I, prepaid items, etc. that I view the same way.

I find the same thing...that buyers are so happy when we close on paper but then I let them know that there is a long way to go yet.

Jerry: so often they think they are stuck once they write the offer...I like them to know they still have options along the way.

Karen: Thanks....each individual step is as important as the others

Sheila: I'm sure that's true...and it can be intimidating to go through

Barb: That's right....and they will confirm the choice all along
