Your Guide to Buying a Home with Mirabal Montalvo & Associates
Buying a home is one of the most exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—journeys you’ll take. At Mirabal Montalvo & Associates, we’ve helped hundreds of buyers throughout Corpus Christi, Houston, and surrounding Texas communities turn their homeownership dreams into reality. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking for your next investment, our team is here to walk you through every step of the process.
Step 1: Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
Before you start house hunting, it’s important to know your budget. Getting pre-approved for a loan shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and helps you understand your true purchasing power. We’re happy to connect you with trusted local lenders who can guide you through the pre-approval process.
Step 2: Define Your Needs and Wants
Are you looking for a single-family home, a condo, or something with investment potential? How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? Which neighborhoods fit your lifestyle? Making a list of your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves will help narrow your search.
Step 3: Start Your Home Search
With your budget and preferences in mind, our experienced agents will provide you with a curated list of available homes that match your criteria. We’ll schedule private showings and offer insight on each property’s value and potential.
Step 4: Make an Offer
Once you find the right home, we’ll help you draft a competitive offer based on current market conditions, comparable sales, and your budget. Negotiations are where our experience really shines—we’ll advocate for your best interests every step of the way.
Step 5: Home Inspections and Appraisal
After your offer is accepted, it’s time to conduct inspections to ensure the home is in good condition. We’ll help coordinate this process and interpret the results. Your lender will also order an appraisal to verify the home’s value aligns with the loan amount.
Step 6: Finalize Your Loan and Close the Deal
Once all inspections, appraisals, and paperwork are complete, you’ll move toward closing day. This is when you’ll sign the final documents and officially become the homeowner.
Step 7: Get the Keys and Celebrate!
After closing, the home is yours! Our team will be there to hand you the keys and celebrate this exciting milestone with you.
