The 2024 Buyer's Checklist: From Pre-Approval to Keys

The 2024 Buyer's Checklist: From Pre-Approval to Keys

Ready to buy in Arlington or Medford? Don't let the process overwhelm you. Follow this simple 2024 roadmap.

Your Action Plan

1. Financial Audit: Get a pre-approval from a local lender (it carries more weight in MA).
2. The 'Must-Have' List: Distinguish between 'needs' (3 bedrooms) and 'wants' (granite counters).
3. The Search: Set up automated alerts so you see homes within minutes of them hitting the MLS.
4. The Inspection: Hire a licensed MA inspector to check the big stuff (roof, boiler, structure).
5. The Final Walkthrough: 24 hours before closing to ensure the home is in the agreed-upon condition.
