Six stages, in order, with the NJ-specific parts most out-of-state guides get wrong.
NJ requires a written brokerage services agreement. We define towns, budget, timeline, and how compensation works — in writing, up front.
Your lender verifies income, assets, and credit and issues a pre-approval. Sellers in competitive NJ towns expect one with your offer.
Live MLS alerts through my search site, saved searches per town, and tours scheduled in efficient loops.
Price, earnest money, contingencies, and closing date go in the offer. After signing comes attorney review — typically three business days — a distinctly New Jersey safeguard.
Inspection findings are negotiated in writing; the lender orders an appraisal and issues a commitment once conditions clear.
Title work, final walkthrough, closing disclosure review, signing, funding, and recording. Then the keys are yours.
