Buying a Home in Raleigh, NC
Are you planning to relocate to the Raleigh area but aren’t sure where to start? Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Steps to Buying a House
If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you likely have questions about the process involved with securing your dream home. Here’s what to expect:
- Set your budget: First, you’ll need to determine how much you can afford to spend on your dream home, including down payment, monthly mortgage payments, and other costs.
- Get mortgage pre-approval: Next, you’ll need to get pre-approval for a mortgage loan so you can understand your budget and become a more attractive buyer to sellers in the area.
- Find an agent: Getting help from a real estate agent is the easiest way to find suitable properties, negotiate offers, and confidently navigate the buying process.
- Start house hunting: Search available listings in the neighborhoods you want to live in, carefully considering things like location, size, amenities, and commute distance.
- Make an offer: Our team will work closely with you to help you make an offer on the property you’re interested in, assisting with negotiations and finalizing the terms of your purchase agreement.
Most of the time, homebuyers will make an offer contingent on a positive home inspection. After you’ve made your offer, hire a home inspector to assess the property and reevaluate your offer based on the results.
Once you’re satisfied, our team can help with the closing process, handling all paperwork and facilitating the transfer of property ownership with ease.

Selling Your Raleigh Home
If you’re selling your current home in Raleigh, our real estate agents have the skills and experience you need to get the offer you deserve. Here’s how to get started:
Steps to Selling Your House
- Prepare your home: Start staging your home for showings by cleaning, decluttering, and making any needed repairs or replacements to make it more appealing to buyers.
- Set your price: Our real estate agents can help you conduct a comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine the list price for your home commensurate with comparable properties in the area.
- Market your property: We’ll help you develop a marketing plan that includes professional photography, online listings, open houses, and other promotional efforts to attract potential buyers.
- Show your home: Our team will help with arranging showings for interested buyers, ensuring your property is presented in the best light to secure a worthwhile offer quickly.
- Negotiate your offers: We’ll work closely with you to field offers from homebuyers, negotiating terms to protect your best interests, including pricing, closing date, and contingencies.
- Accept your offer: Once an offer that satisfies your needs has been made, our team will help prepare the contractual agreement you need to make the sale final.
Should I Sell My Home by Owner or Use a Realtor?
While some homeowners choose to sell their properties on their own, this can add unnecessary stress and hassle to your experience, as you become solely responsible for all aspects of marketing, pricing, and paperwork.
Using a knowledgeable realtor gives you access to more powerful marketing resources and stronger negotiating. With a realtor by your side, your home has a greater chance of selling faster than if you attempted to sell it on your own.
