Your Guide to the Homebuying Process: Step by Step with Veltri Group of Brevard

Step 1: Hire a Local Expert

Before diving into the homebuying process, it’s essential to have the right team by your side. A local real estate expert can make all the difference, providing the guidance and knowledge you need to navigate the market confidently.

At the Veltri Group of Brevard, we bring you:

• Local Expertise: As longtime residents of Florida’s Space Coast, we know the neighborhoods, schools, and amenities like the back of our hand.
• Personalized Service: With our sibling team approach, you’ll have two dedicated agents offering twice the support and care.
• Professional Experience: From pre-approval to closing, we guide you every step of the way, ensuring your journey is smooth and informed.

Step 2: Get Pre-Approved for Your Mortgage

The first step to buying a home is determining how much you can afford. A pre-approval letter from a reputable lender will help you understand your budget, including loan amount, interest rate, and estimated monthly payment. This document is also an essential signal to sellers that you're a serious buyer. 

Step 3: Find Your Perfect Home

This is where the excitement begins! Our dedicated agents, Lew and Tina Veltri, will work with you to find a home that meets your needs and budget. We provide local insights into neighborhoods, amenities, and potential resale value. From scheduling showings to assisting with research, we're with you every step of the way.

Step 4: Make an Offer

Once you find the home you love, it's time to make an offer. We will help you craft a competitive offer that reflects the market, taking into account price, terms, and contingencies. Our negotiation expertise, with Lew's years of experience and Tina's personalized approach, ensures you're in the best position to succeed. 

Step 5: Submit Earnest Money to the Title Company

Earnest money is a deposit that shows the seller you're serious about buying their property. We will guide you through the process of submitting this deposit to the title company to ensure everything is done smoothly.

Step 6: Conduct a Home Inspection

A home inspection is one of the most crucial parts of the homebuying journey. We recommend hiring a certified home inspector to ensure there are no surprises after you move in. Tina, our staging and visual expert, will also offer input on potential improvements.

Step 7: Negotiate Repairs or Adjust Offer

After reviewing the inspection report, there may be items that require further negotiation. The inspection objection and resolution period allows us to negotiate repairs or adjust the offer accordingly. With Lew's deep understanding of home inspections and Tina's strong communication skills, you will be well-represented during these discussions.

Step 8: Appraisal Ordered by Lender

To ensure the property value supports the purchase price, your lender will order an appraisal. If the appraisal comes back lower than the offer price, we have options, such as renegotiating or modifying the terms. We are committed to protecting your interests during this critical stage.

Step 9: Clear to Close

Once the appraisal and all other contingencies are met, your lender will give you the "clear to close." This means all conditions are satisfied, and we can move forward with closing preparations.

Step 10: Attend the Closing

This is the day you sign the paperwork and officially become a homeowner! The closing will take place at a title company, where we will be by your side to ensure everything is done properly.
