What to Know When Buying a House in Chico, CA
Buying a home can be one of the most rewarding yet stressful things you ever do —
and even more so when you're a first-time home buyer in Chico, CA.
There is so much to learn, and Mr. Cooper is here to explain it all in simple, easy to follow terms.
We'll make sure you're equipped with confidence and empowered with information about prequalification, financing options, and your home search.
Pulling from their years of experience and training in the home buying industry, our mortgage professionals will give you the right information, at the right time.
You'll learn what to ask and when, such as,
"how many offers has the seller received so far?" and, "how long has this house been for sale?"
Give Mr. Cooper a call to get started.
We'll start by helping you estimate how much house you can afford to buy in Chico. That's a good first step toward home ownership. We'll then walk you through prequalifying for a mortgage, something that could help you stay ahead of the game. Mortgage prequalification is one of the most important things you can do when buying a house in Chico. It accomplishes two things. First, it indicates that a mortgage lender thinks you're a solid candidate for a home loan. Second, it provides you with the most accurate estimate of how much you can afford to spend on a house. Mr. Cooper can even connect you with verified and insured real estate agents in your area.* Lastly, we'll help you choose and apply for a home loan, secure your loan, and walk you through the process until closing day. Buying a home in Chico could be even easier when you have Mr. Cooper in your corner.
