The Home Buying Process From the MacGuire Team

Buying a home is both exciting and overwhelming all at once. We understand that until a family is settled in a great home, life is on hold due to stress and upheaval. We will listen to your desires and needs and we will hear what you have to say, because ultimately, you know what you're looking for. There are a lot of steps to buying a home, though, that will seem overwhelming at first, but that's why you hire the best real estate agents in Colorado Springs. We can walk you through them all to help make this process fun, easy, and ultimately successful!



Navigating the Home Buying Process
Loan Pre-Qualification – this helps you establish how much you are comfortable with spending on your new home.
Needs Assessment – We sit down and discuss your desires, lifestyle, needs & dreams.
Area Tour – We drive you through the Colorado Springs communities so that you may identify the areas that meet your wants and needs.
Tour Homes – We visit the homes in your favorite areas that meet your search criteria.

 Identify the Home!
Once we find the right home for you, we research the property thoroughly so you know:
  • How long this home has been on the market?
  • How many price reductions have occurred?
  • How long has the seller owned the home?
  • What did the seller pay for the home?
  • What have comparable homes sold for?
  • What should the seller be disclosing about the home?
This information helps us establish value and decide what would be an appropriate offer.

Buying Your Home!
Negotiate the offer – I will negotiate the contract as if it were my own money on the table. As your Buyer’s Agent and trusted advisor, I will represent YOUR best interests.
Navigate through the Contract contingencies of Inspection, Appraisal, Title Commitment, Survey & Due Diligence.
Final Walk Through – Prior to closing, we walk through the house to ensure that all contractual inclusions are present, verify the inspection items are completed and the condition of the home is acceptable.
Closing – We will obtain the closing figures and review them to ensure accuracy. We will be present at closing to ensure all of your questions are adequately answered.
Congratulations and let the moving begin!
