Buyer’s Guide
Buying a home can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience. At Rodgers Realty Group, we're here to simplify the process and ensure you have the support you need. Follow these four essential steps to make your home-buying journey as smooth as possible:
STEP 1: TALK TO YOUR LENDER
Start by determining your budget and getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This step helps you understand your purchasing power and streamlines your search. Share your pre-approval letter with your Rodgers Realty Group agent so we can tailor our search to your financial parameters and move swiftly when you find the right home.
STEP 2: CREATE A CHECKLIST
Identify your "Must-Haves" and "Nice-to-Haves" in a printable checklist. Knowing what features you can’t live without versus what would be nice to have helps us focus on properties that truly meet your needs. This list will keep you on track and help avoid distractions from homes that might not be the best fit.
STEP 3: USE OUR WEBSITE
Add the Rodgers Realty Group website (rodgersrealtygrp.com) to your phone’s home screen for easy access. Our site provides up-to-date, accurate listings directly from the MLS, saving you from the frustrations of outdated information and ensuring you have the latest property details at your fingertips.
