Fees you need to be prepared to pay include:

    •  An appraisal to determine the value of the property

    •  A home inspection to determine the condition of the property and if any
      repairs must be made

    •  A deposit on the sales contract or down payment towards the purchase of
      your home.


These costs are included in your part of the down payment and closing costs.

    • Once you have signed a contract, and made your loan application, you must meet
      with the home inspector at you home-to-be to go over any needed repairs or
      maintenance suggestions.

    • You will also need to get homeowners insurance to protect your new home-to-be.
      We recommend you start this process as soon as possible. Flood insurance may
      be required.

    • After that, all you have to do is attend the closing and take possession of your
      new home!
