7 Steps to Buying a Home (simple version) 
1. Save your money 
You’ll need more than just a down payment.
Examples:
$200K home ≈ ~$17K saved
$250K home ≈ ~$20K saved
$600K home ≈ ~$41K saved
2. Get clear 
Know what you can afford + what you want.
What monthly payment feels okay?
Pick your top 3 must-haves + areas
3. Get a good agent 
Find someone who knows your area and helps buyers like you. I can recommend some if you need.
4. Talk to a Mortgage Pro 
They tell you your real budget (not a guess).
Ask me about monthly payments + closing costs.
5. Start looking 
Look at homes early — about 4 months before you need to move.
6. Make an offer 
Your agent helps you win the deal.
Then you do an inspection + lock in your loan.
7. Get your keys 
It takes about 1–2 months after your offer is accepted.
