Assessing Finances and Lender Pre-Approval
The first step in the buying process is getting your financial statements in order. Sellers and lenders want to see financial stability and be assured that you can handle the costs of a new purchase. We can advise you on what documents to gather and in what time frame you should have everything available.
When it’s time for your pre-approval, we’ve partnered with The Fortress Group, a credible lender to help with financial questions and consults.
Having a credible pre-approval assists with viewings, narrowing down the price range of the search, and preparing for negotiations when you’re ready to make an offer.

Finding the Right Property in Maryland, DC, or Virginia
Once the pre-approval process is complete, we can discuss the wants and needs of your new property. Wants are the items that you would like to have and that we’ll keep an eye out for, but the Needs are the items you can’t live without – this helps narrow our search to finding only the properties that work for you.
Once we have your list of property details, the search can begin! We’ll send you frequent notices of listings that match your search criteria. You can view properties online and reach out to us with questions, a viewing schedule, and more.
We’ll help answer any questions, find any missing info, and when the time is right – prepare the offer and negotiation.
Property Inspections and Appraisals
Once an offer has been accepted, the contingencies of that sale begin – often meaning the inspections and appraisals. You and the seller will enter into a contract that outlines these expectations and sets a timeline for the sale.
At Miller Realty, we will help you stay on track as part of our buyer services. We’ll help keep track of deadlines, refer you to inspection vendors if needed, and evaluate the reports to see what they reveal about the property. We’ll compare the value of the property against the offer to confirm it is appropriate.
Our buyer services will help you navigate this complex process so you don’t miss out on any property valuations, deadlines, HOA reviews, home loans, homeowner’s insurance, disclosures, and more. Trust Miller Realty to be there every step of the way – your purchase is in good hands.
The Closing Process
This is the exciting time, the end is in sight, your new property is ready to be signed over and closed on. Part of the closing process included in our buyer services in the DMV is assistance navigating the home stretch.
We will help you manage the final inspections, confirm the appraisals and the loan, and help summarize the closing documents. Closing documents are the agreements between all parties regarding the value, sale, loan, and terms of the sale. Our real estate agents will help you understand all parts of the contract to feel confident with the final signatures.
With that, it’s time to begin setting up utilities, transferring all relevant items into your name, and setting a move-in date. Ask our realtors about any questions and we’ll help you navigate this exciting process.
