The 10 Steps to Homeownership
Get Pre-Approved
Lock in a mortgage pre-approval. Shows sellers you're a serious buyer and tightens the range you can confidently shop in.
Start the Home Search
Tour homes that match your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves — location, schools, commute, condition. The clearer your criteria, the faster the right home appears.
Make an Offer
We craft a strong, strategic offer based on comp data, market conditions, and the seller's likely motivations.
Negotiate & Acceptance
Expect back-and-forth on price, contingencies, credits, and timeline. We negotiate on your behalf to protect your position and land an accepted offer.
Do Your Diligence
With your offer accepted, schedule the home inspection, submit your full mortgage application, and confirm any other contingencies on the contract.
Get the Appraisal
Your lender orders an appraisal to confirm the home's value matches your contract — we navigate any gap on your behalf.
Loan Cleared to Close
Underwriting completes, the lender clears your loan, and a final closing date is confirmed and set.
Do a Final Walkthrough
One last look 24–48 hours before closing to verify the home is in the agreed-upon condition.
Close & Welcome Home
Sign the closing docs, grab the keys, celebrate. Midwood Homes remains a resource long after closing — referrals, future moves, market check-ins, and answers when you need them.
