Some advice to buyers:
Buyer needs to be pre-qualified. This means that the buyer/client has taken the steps to meet with a lender or broker before searching for Tucson real estate. The broker took important financial information from the buyer and was able to produce a credit report.
However, the buyer needs to be Pre-approved. The buyer provides a broker with written evidence of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and credit. As a result, the paperwork for this buyer's loan has been completed. The broker provides you with a pre-approved certificate from the lender. The realtor is certain this buyer can close on his real estate.
Buyer needs to look at all the costs of your loan. Although the rate is important, the buyer needs to review all costs of loan, such as closing costs, origination and discount points.
Buyer needs to have ready a home insurance policy.
Buyer needs to have a profession inspection on the property whether it is a resale or new construction.
Buyer needs to have all agreements and changes on contracts in writing.
Buyer should consider buying a one year home warranty program unless it is new construction.
