DICKENS MITCHENER AT A GLANCE

The Home Buying Process Welcome Home!

Meet With A Real Estate Broker

Discuss the type of home you’re looking for, including style, price and location.

The Real Estate Broker will review Working with Real Estate Agents Disclosure/ and the Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement with you. You will be asked to sign these agreements to hire our firm to represent you. Our firm charges 3% buyer agency fee.

Get Pre-Approved

You will need pay stubs, W2s and bank statements. Knowing what you can afford is critical to a succesful home buying experience.

Search For Homes

The fun part! Your agent will schedule showings and help you find the perfect home.

ADVANCED SEARCH: not all real estate websites are the same. Your real estate professional has tools and systems to ensure you see every available home that meets your criteria.

Make An Offer

Your agent will prepare the offer based on the price and terms you choose. At this time we will determine who is paying the buyer agency fee: you the Buyer, the Seller, or a combination of the two.

Negotiating & Contract

Your agent will offer advice on best strategies and negotiate.

DEPOSITS: Due diligence fee is due immediately upon going under contract, with the Earnest Money due within 5 days.

Under Contract

You and the seller have agreed to the price and terms.

Due Diligence

You will hire an attorney and inspector. You will order a survey and appraisal.

Preparing For Closing

You will be finalizing your loan, reviewing documents and securing your homeowners insurance policy.

Closing

The transfer of funds and ownership. An attorney typically acts as an independent third party to facilitate the CLOSING.

Own A Home?

OPEN UP POSSIBILITIES FOR OTHERS

THERE’S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. Never has that been truer than when coming together in the real estate community to combat homelessness.

THE HOMEOWNERS IMPACT FUND, a designated 501(c)3 nonprofit, invites participants who are in the home closing process to make a small donation that adds up to a substantial gift to local organizations working to lift men, women and children out of homelessness. Because when you harness the power of community, you can weather any storm.

HOW IT WORKS

If you’re fortunate enough to have a roof over your head, please consider supporting the Homeowners Impact Fund to help others in need. Funds raised are distributed directly to reputable nonprofit organizations that support individuals and families in finding a path out of homelessness.

Every day, you experience the joy of a place to call home.

Every day, more than 3,000 people in the Charlotte area experience homelessness.

Every day, more than 580,000 people across the US experience homelessness. Together, we can make a difference.
