What is the home buying process step by step?
Budget and credit check, preapproval, home search, showings, offer, inspection, appraisal, final loan approval, final walkthrough, closing. ListingCraft for Buyers handles the search, showing requests, offer package and a closing checklist that updates itself.
After your offer is accepted, the contract sets deadlines for earnest money, inspection, appraisal and financing. Missing one can cost you your protections, so track them closely.
ListingCraft for Buyers's deal room shows each step with a due date and marks what is done.
