I'm Buying With Cash

Know your available funds and be prepared to document them when making an offer.

BANK FINANCING

Your Pre-Approval Comes Before the Home Search.

A lender can help you understand what you qualify for, estimated monthly payments and how much cash you may need to complete the purchase.

Be prepared to discuss:
โœ“ Income and employment information
โœ“ Credit and existing monthly obligations
โœ“ Available funds for down payment and closing costs
โœ“ Your comfortable monthly housing budget
โœ“ The loan programs that may fit your situation
CASH PURCHASE

Cash Buyers Should Be Prepared Too.

Paying cash removes the mortgage approval process, but you'll still want a clear budget and documentation showing funds are available for the purchase.

Be prepared with:
โœ“ Proof of available funds
โœ“ A clearly established purchase budget
โœ“ Funds for closing costs and other transaction expenses
โœ“ A plan for inspections and due diligence
โœ“ Your preferred timeline for purchasing
Know your numbers before you fall in love with a home. Financial preparation helps your agent focus the search on properties that fit both your goals and your buying power.
