 Our Guide to Acquiring Your Dream Property.

1. BEGIN YOUR SEARCH:

Initiate with pre-approval and embark on your property exploration. Typically, a buyer views 10-15 properties before proceeding with an offer.

2. PREPERATION STAGE:

Your MOOF agent will present a comparative market analysis for the property you're eyeing. This analysis encompasses units sold within the building and surrounding area, ensuring your offer is grounded in real-time market data. Trust in MOOF's expertise for objective advice.

3. OFFER NEGOTIATION & ACCEPTANCE: 

Price, terms, and occasionally additional components like furniture might be up for negotiation. Harnessing the insights of a MOOF buyer's agent during negotiation can prevent overpaying and result in significant savings.

4. CONTRACT REVIEW & ATTORNEY DUE DILIGENCE:

Your legal representative will meticulously review the contract and delve deep into the building's financial health. Through a thorough questionnaire for building management and a review of board minutes, you'll gain invaluable insights into the building's history.

5. CONTRACT EXECUTION: 

The binding agreement is realized when both parties ink the purchase contract. At this juncture, the buyer is expected to deposit 10% of the purchase price into an escrow account.

6. FINANCING:

If opting for financing, the subsequent phases entail close collaboration with your mortgage provider:

  • Complete the loan application.

  • Initiate a bank appraisal request.

  • Secure formal loan approval.

  • Obtain the loan commitment letter from the bank.

7. PURCHASE APPLICATION & BOARD INTERVIEW: 

Leverage the expertise of a MOOF agent, especially skilled in crafting impeccable purchase applications. Any discrepancies can result in delays, making perfection paramount. For co-op acquisitions, a board interview is likely, and an experienced agent is invaluable for preparation.

8. BOARD APPROVAL:

Once the green light is given, the bank, attorneys, and building management join forces to prepare essential closing documents. In harmony with all parties, a closing date is set.

9. CLOSING DAY:

Before, or on the appointed closing day, you'll conduct a final walkthrough of the property alongside your MOOF agent. The closing, typically lasting an hour, involves document review and signing, with your attorney by your side for guidance.
