What is the first step in buying a home in Coastal Georgia?

The first step in buying a home is getting pre-qualified for a home loan with a mortgage lender. Once pre-qualified, you will know your exact purchasing budget and estimated monthly payment. Whether you are using a Conventional, FHA, or $0-down VA loan for a military relocation, your lender and Realtor will guide your search with total confidence.

Why do I need a lender pre-qualification letter before touring homes?

In Coastal Georgia's active real estate market, desirable homes receive rapid inquiries. When you find the right property, submitting your lender pre-qualification letter alongside your purchase offer proves to the seller that you are financially qualified and ready to close without financing delays.

What are closing costs and who pays them in Georgia?

Closing costs are standard expenses associated with purchasing or selling real estate, including lender loan origination, property appraisal, title search, attorney settlement fees, and prorated property taxes. In Georgia, buyers pay loan-related costs while sellers typically cover deed transfer taxes and commission fees. Closing cost contributions can also be negotiated into purchase contracts.

How does the due diligence period work in a Georgia purchase contract?

In Georgia real estate contracts, the due diligence period is an agreed-upon timeframe (typically 7 to 14 days) allowing the buyer to conduct home inspections, review HOA documents, and assess neighborhood conditions. During this period, the buyer retains the unilateral right to terminate the contract for any reason and receive a 100% refund of their earnest money deposit.
