Purchasing a home is a major milestone—and it can also be a stressful experience. At iHouse Realty Group, our goal is to make your transition as smooth and successful as possible. With deep knowledge of the Triangle area, we simplify the process of finding your dream home once we understand your needs.

​

Start by Asking the Right Questions​

Before you begin your search, consider the following:

• Location: Are there specific neighborhoods or communities you prefer?

• Schools: Is a particular school district important to you? (Contact us for school rankings and details.)

• Home Type: Are you looking for a single-family home, townhome, or condo? How many bedrooms or bathrooms do you need?

• New vs. Resale: Do you prefer new construction or an existing home? If resale, what age range is acceptable?

• Lifestyle Needs: Do you need a home office, bonus room, or large backyard?

• Community Amenities: Are features like a pool, clubhouse, or playground important?

• Budget: Have you determined your price range or consulted a lender for pre-approval?​

With preparation and the right guidance, buying a home can be a smooth and rewarding experience. Here’s how we help:

Step 1: Determine Financial Readiness
Understand your budget and get pre-approved by a lender. This helps define your price range and strengthens your position when making an offer.

Step 2: Define Your Search Criteria
We’ll help you identify the ideal location, size, features, and style of home that fits your needs and budget.

Step 3: Tour Homes
We’ll send you listings that match your criteria and schedule showings at your convenience. As licensed agents, we have access to all MLS listings.

Step 4: Make an Offer
Once you find the right home, we’ll guide you through the NC Offer to Purchase Contract, helping you determine the right price, due diligence fee, earnest money, and terms.

Step 5: Home Inspections
We recommend inspections—even for “as-is” properties. This may include general home, termite, radon, HVAC, and structural inspections.
 

Step 6: Loan Processing
Once under contract, your lender will begin processing your loan. We’ll help you compare lenders and ensure you stay on track with required documentation.

Step 7: Work with a Closing Attorney
The attorney will handle the title search, prepare the settlement statement, and manage the legal transfer of ownership.

Step 8: Closing Day
You’ll sign the final documents, the deed will be recorded, and the home will officially be yours!​
