Let us guide you through the process of buying a home.

Buyer Agency

Home buyers hire real estate agents for their expertise in navigating complex transactions with critical financial and logistical considerations. As market leaders, Howard Hanna agents simplify the home buying process and become your trusted advisors. Their in-depth knowledge of local market trends helps clients find suitable properties and negotiate favorable terms, breaking down the process into buyer consultation, home search, and transaction.

Consultation

During the buyer consultation, your agent will get to know you, help you identify your "dream home," explain the home buying process, get you pre-qualified, and commit to represent you.

Search

During the home search process, your agent will set up searches and new listing alerts for you, clarify your needs, schedule showings, keep you updated on the market, and communicate clearly every step of the way.

Transaction

During the home buying transaction, your agent will negotiate your offer, secure your contract, oversee the inspection process, expedite the mortgage process, and coordinate insurance and closing.
