Image

2

Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.
Image

3

Property tours

After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.
Image

4

Write offer

Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
Image

5

Under Contract or Escrow

With your offer accepted, we enter a 30-day Escrow period. This involves a neutral third party company that holds funds while conducting a thorough underwriting process to ensure all aspects of the contract are upheld properly
Image

6

Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
Image

7

Inspections

Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
Image

8

Closing

Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.

Grant is professional and helpful in every aspect of the process. We have used him on numerous occasions and always received the best service. I know my family will use Grant again in the future and would recommend him to family and friends.

Our experience with Grant was wonderful. He is honest and really cares about people. I highly recommend him if you want to get things done. He sold our house in 33 days and helped us through the whole process, even when we felt really stressed because we were in a time crunch and absolutely needed to get the best deal. He negotiated in our favor and gave us great advice when we were unsure of the best plan of action.

Grant Wortman is an Amazing man! Very professional, informative, helpful, on top of his job, and accessible. We were on the verge of foreclosure. Life had been ruff, and it was taking its toll on our finances. We contacted Grant, and he got right on it with helping us through. Within the week he set up a meeting with us, had the comps for our area, checked it our house and property, gave us instructions on what needed to be done to help it sell as fast as possible, and we had it on the market within about 2 weeks.Signs were up in the yard, and by the end of the first week all other advertisement was up and going.With all of his ways of advertising your home to get it out there for more people to see, it definitely paid off. Not that all homes do, but ours was under contract 2 weeks after being put on the market! We personally believe it was God's doing, but also know it was through Grant. And we are beyond Grateful! The sell process was as easy as it could possibly be, given the circumstances we were under. Grant kept us informed, he explained things to us well, and the signing process was made easy in the comfort and convenience of our home. If or whenever we decide to go through a home purchase process again, Grant Wortman is who we will call! Hands down, THE BEST!
