Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation's Loan Officers can pre-approve your mortgage before you start house hunting. A pre-approval is a guaranty that you can qualify for financing to a maximum purchase price and loan amount. This enables you to write a stronger Offer to Purchase. In a competitive market, this could mean the difference between acceptance of your offer rather than that of another buyer. When you apply for a loan, be sure to get a good faith estimate of your closing costs. To get pre-approved or apply on-line, click here.
Sue will work closely with you to find a home or property that's just right for you. When you do, it's time to write an Offer to Purchase. Writing the offer is an exciting, emotional and complicated experience. But, there is no need to worry because you’ll have Sue at your side, putting her fourteen years of experience to work for you as you move through the buying process. She will carefully explain all the forms of the Offer and any Counter-Offers that may be made by the seller.
A professional home inspector is essential when making a home purchase. A home inspector sees beyond the "cosmetics" and surveys the entire house, including structure, roof, exterior and major systems (heating, plumbing, cooling, and electrical, ventilation, etc.). The inspection can be written into your Offer to Purchase as one of your buying contingencies.
Sue will introduce you to your personal Home Services Coordinator (HSC). Your HSC will work with you to provide information and services you need before, during and after your move. From making repairs to contacting movers, your HSC is here to help you through the selling process. This is one of the many additional services offered to customers of Shorewest Realtors.
