The following steps are simply an outline of the process.  For more detailed
information, please contact me at
info@kimshuford.com and I will be glad to answer
all of your questions.

Step 1 -  
Finding a Realtor
             Although it is not necessary for you to have a Realtor to buy a home, I urge
             you to do so.  They are there to help and guide you as well.  Please see the
             links page for some local Realtors who will be glad to help you.

Step 2 -
Finding a Loan Officer
             We are here to help you with the financing on your new home.  A good loan         
               officer can make a big impact on how your buying transaction goes.  For
             more information, please contact us.

Step 3 -
Formal Loan Application
             Here is where the paperwork process begins.  You will need to gather as
             much of the information listed at the bottom of this page as you can to
             give us.  We can take the loan application in person at a place of your
             choosing to be convenient for you, we can take it over the phone and
             fax for signatures, or we can email it.  Please let us know what is more
             convenient for you.

Step 4 -
Pre-Qualification Letter
             Generally by now this step has already been completed.  If not, then it will
             be at this time.  This letter is usually put with the contract on your new
             home to let the seller know that you are a qualified, serious buyer.  Most
             sellers will not accept a contract without a letter such as this.

Step 5 -
Documentation
             It is imperative that we are able to document all the information you
             have given on your loan application, unless you qualified for a stated
             program.  Now is the time to get all the information to us that we ask
             for.  Sometimes this seems a little tedious, but it is needed and the faster
             we can get this, the better chance you will have to close on time.

Step 6 -
Contracting on Your New Home
             If you have not already put a contract on a property, then we will wait
             at this point until you find that perfect home!

Step 7 -
Contract Acceptance
             Even though you made an offer, they still have to accept it.  This is where
             your Realtor steps in by speaking on your behalf to the seller and their
             Realtor.  Once you have an accepted contract, your loan moves forward.

Step 8 -
Appraisals, Inspections, Etc.
             At this point, you are encouraged to get a home inspection done on your
             property.  Once again, your Realtor can help you with selecting a
             reputable inspector.  Once your inspection is completed, the appraisal on
             your home will be ordered, along with the title work.  The processing
             part of your loan is also being completed at this point and then submitted
             to an underwriter for final approval.  Please expect a few more  items
             to be requested by the underwriter at this time.

Step 9 -
Closing Dates
             Every effort is made to close your loan on time, however, sometimes there
             are issues that arise that may cause a delay.  If there are, you will be informed
             of these issues so there is no surprise and the seller of your property will
             be informed as well.  This is why it is extremely important that you get
             all the documentation in as quickly as possible.

Step 10-
Setting Up Your Utilities
             Once you have been given a clear to close and the date is set, it is time for
             you to set up your utilities and change your address on all your mail.
             
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL YOU ARE CLEARED TO CLOSE.  
             We will let you know when this occurs.

Step 11-
Closing
             Now you are ready to close on your new home!  You will be given a date and
             time to be at the title company who will have all your paperwork ready
             for you.  Get ready to sign, sign, sign!

Step 12-
Taking Possession of Your New Home
             Congratulations!  Now the fun of moving begins!  Please note that this can
             sometimes be a few days after closing in order to give the seller time to
             move out.  So, be patient.  Your Realtor will inform if there will be a delay
             at this point before you close.
There are no secrets
to success.  It is the
result of preparation,
hard work, learning
from failure.
