I want to use a real estate associate!

Choosing an associate may be one of the most important decisions a homebuyer makes. Your associate represents you to sellers and can either sell your offer or not, a delicate task, particularly in a hot market.

Your associate also handles delicate negotiations on your behalf that determine how stressful, or painless, your home buying experience will be. Experts caution you to remember; you are in charge during the real estate transaction and should never delegate your role as decision-maker.

"I have a question."

Such as -  "I'm renting a great apartment, but a coworker suggested I would be better off buying a home. What would be the advantage?"

The properties are listed by local listing agents through local Multi Listing Systems (MLS). A list of properties for sale may also be obtained from Ocwen's website. If you are interested in buying a VA acquired property, you should contact a local real estate broker to see the property.

Searching on the net for houses?
You should go to Realtor.com and Register for your own "Personal Planner". Once done, you will get emails of any listings which meet your specifications. Then contact me. If the house is in the Tulsa area, I will personally help you. If outside of the Tulsa area, I will have someone contact you.
The Mortgage Application
What does a Mortgage Application look like? An actual mortgage application form. Print it and be better prepared when you talk with your mortgage company.
Title Insurance
Title insurance can prove to be very valuable. Read more information and be better informed.

Are you really ready to close on your new home purchase?

Have you done all of your inspections ... wood destroying organisms, electrical/mechanical/plumbing, structural, roof, septic, flood, lead based paint, radon gas? Each of these requires a different inspector of your choice. To ensure full disclosure, it is better to get the inspections done now, before closing, rather than going into litigation after closing.
