Team up with a good agent. With several offices across Middle Tennessee, we’re sure to be in your area. Let one of our real estate professionals help you find your next dream home.

 

Research neighborhoods and communities to narrow your search. Maybe you are drawn to life in the more urban areas of town. Perhaps it’s the call ofExpedition Parka the country you hear… or something in between. Discover what Nashville and its surrounding areas have to offer through our map search.

 

Find the home of your dreams. Make a list of needs and wants you have in mind for your new space. Be flexible and open to different ideas. Explore homes with your Parks Realty agent and select the one that will best suit your needs.

 

Make an offer and negotiate with the help of your Parks Realty Agent. There are lots of things to consider and we can help.

 

Contact your Legacy Lending Group Loan Officer to let them know your contract has been written and accepted. Provide updated financial documents for a final approval, if needed.

 

Get it inspected. Your Parks Realty agent will be able to provide you with referrals to preferred vendors for a professional home inspection or any other inspections you may need.

 

Finalize and release any contingencies. You’re almost ready to close! Better start packing.

 

Contact your insurance agent to obtain an appropriate homeowners insurance policy. If you’re purchasing a condo, be sure to add a contents policy for extra protection.

 

Schedule your closing with SolomonParks Title & Escrow, LLC. Along with your agent, they will walk you through to the home stretch! Gather any documents needed at closing, as advised by your team of professionals.

 

Final walk through. Take one last look at the house to ensure everything is ready to go. If you’re buying new construction, this process might stretch out a little. Your agent and builder can give you the details here, as each can differ slightly, depending on the builder’s policies.

 

Attend your closing. You’ve made it to the final step! Take a deep breath… this is the easy part. Bring your driver’s license or other official form of identification and a cashier’s check for the balance of your initial investment, if needed. It’s time to sign the loan documents and get the keys to your new home. Congratulations! You’re a new homeowner!
