Buying A Home In El Paso

The Process

What Buying A Home Looks Like

From our first conversation to getting your keys, I will guide you through each step and keep you updated along the way.

01

Let’s Talk

We will start with your budget, timeline, must-haves and the areas you are considering. If you are financing, I can also connect you with a trusted lender so you know exactly what you are comfortable spending.

02

The Home Search

I will help narrow your options, send homes that fit what you are looking for and schedule private showings around your availability. We will compare homes, neighborhoods, commute times and the details that matter to you.

03

Making An Offer

Once you find the one, I will walk you through the offer, explain the contract and help you decide on price, terms and negotiations.

04

Under Contract

If your offer is accepted, we are officially under contract. Earnest money and option money are delivered, inspections are completed and we work through any resulting negotiations. If you are financing, your lender begins moving the loan toward approval and orders the appraisal when applicable.

05

Title & Closing Prep

The title company researches ownership and any issues affecting the property, prepares the title commitment and works toward a clear title. As closing approaches, we will review your final numbers, complete the final walkthrough and make sure everything is ready for closing day.

06

Closing & Keys

You will sign your closing documents and send any remaining funds needed to close. Once everything is signed, funded and the transaction is complete, it is time for the best part: getting the keys to your new home.

FAQ

Buyer Questions

Q

What does it cost to work with you?

Buyer representation terms are discussed up front and put in writing before you start touring homes.

Q

I am PCSing to Fort Bliss and cannot fly in.

Video tours, a neighborhood orientation call and remote offers. Plenty of El Paso buyers close without seeing the house in person first.

Q

Do I need my own agent for new construction?

Yes. The agent in the model home represents the builder. Bring me to your first visit so representation is not waived.

Q

What is the option period?

A short window in the Texas contract when you can inspect and, if needed, walk. It is the most important stretch of the deal.

Q

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan. I will introduce you to El Paso lenders so you get the real number before you shop.

Q

What are the ongoing costs?

Texas property taxes, insurance and any HOA. You get the full monthly picture on a house before you write an offer, not after.
