Buying a Home in the Seattle Area
Looking to buy a home in the Pacific Northwest? Or just want to understand home prices in different parts of the greater Seattle area? The Hafzalla Real Estate team is here to help you.
Determining Your Budget
Obtaining a pre-approval means a lender of your choice (or someone we’re happy to refer you to) has reviewed your finances and determined how much you’re qualified to borrow. In our competitive market, connecting with a reputable lender is one of the first steps in the process. It will give you clarity when determining your budget and you can be more confident in your ability to secure a loan as you begin falling in love with prospective homes.
Starting Your Search
Often you will start your search online by looking at homes, which is a fantastic way to get acquainted with the market. By the time you are pre-approved, we should have a good idea of your housing goals, timeline and desired outcome. Throughout the process we will discuss and help you refine your search criteria, send you direct and immediate listings that match your criteria via our local MLS, and get to know exactly the style and preferences you are seeking. We shop alongside you and will answer questions, research and provide comparable market data, especially as you get closer to making offers. We will also tour as many homes as needed to find “the one” and will point out many details and things to look (or watch out for) with each home we tour. Our knowledge of plumbing, electrical, roofs, etc is extensive as is our ability to help with remodeling visions.
Offer Guidance
With over 25 years experience, the Hafzalla Real Estate team are experts in crafting a careful, hyper-analyzed and successful offer, especially in our competitive market. We will discuss all of your options, the different contingencies in play, and the overall different offer strategies that occur on each individual property of interest. Our track record of negotiations and offer acceptance rate is something we are proud of as we ensure the absolute best education so you fully understand the mechanics of your offer. In addition, having been through hundreds of home inspections, we are experts in understanding costs of repairs and how that may affect pricing and negotiations. Beyond that, once your offer is accepted, we will guide you each step of the way through closing and beyond as you embark on the wonderful and courageous homeownership journey. Working with the Hafzalla Real Estate team will provide you what you need to be successful and we promise you’ll have a great time too.
