I'm ready to buy...what now?

Here are some steps to help you prepare to purchase a home / property: 
1) Speak to a lender and get preapproved / prequalified
2) Call your agent to get set up on a home search list

Once you find the home you want to put in an offer on: 
1) Set down with your agent and write up the offer
2) Have your EMD, this must be presented with the offer
3) Decide on your closing attorney (this will be done at the time you write the offer)
4) Set up all inspections (septic, well, home, roof, etc)
5) Verify with your lender that the appraisal has been ordered
6) Call your closing attorney to verify you are all set to close
