FOR BUYERS

Buy A Home

Destinations Real Estate offers a personalized approach to buying or selling a home, with a focus on understanding its client’s unique needs, preferences, and budget. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor, Destinations Real Estate will work closely with you to develop a comprehensive strategy that highlights properties that match your criteria.

Getting pre-approved by a lender

It is essential that you know your qualifying levels. We highly recommend that our clients speak to a lending professional to help determine what they are qualified to purchase. This not only saves valuable time and energy, but having a pre-approval letter show sellers that you are a serious and qualified buyer. The lender will go over your financing options, what monthly payment amounts you can afford, and what you can expect for down payment requirements and closing costs. Being prepared with a pre-approval letter may be the difference between sellers accepting your offer over others in multiple offer situations.

Choosing a home

For many buyers, choosing a home is an emotional process, and we can assist in this process by offering objective information about each property that you consider. We can provide local community information and home-specific details to help you find precisely what you are looking for. At Destinations Real Estate, we have experience in helping buyers purchase a variety of homes, from newly-built to fixer uppers.

Making an offer

Once you've found the homes of your dreams, we will research recent comparable sales of similar homes in the area to help determine a competitive offer.

Closing Process

The closing process for a real estate transactions can be complicated. As your Realtors, we will assist you in ensuring that all appropriate forms are filled out correctly, with all required initials and signatures in place, and that all information is current, accurate, and consistent on all documents. This is a crucial aspect of the closing process, as any discrepancies, inaccuracies, or missing information can cause delays.

We connected with Kari in the fall of 2022. Came to her with a very unique need for property. We needed 6 bedrooms, 3 baths on 10+ acres of land that couldn’t be more than 90 minutes north of Minneapolis. We closed on January 13th with the absolute perfect property. Kari worked very hard to find us the select few properties that fit our requirements, offer great communication every step of the way…from looking at properties all the way through our closing. A+ service and she couldn’t be nicer.
