What Should I Expect at Closing?
The closing process in a real estate transaction involves reviewing and signing legal documents, paying closing costs, finalizing the purchase price, transferring ownership of the property, and collecting the keys. Both the buyer and seller are responsible for paying closing costs, and the final purchase price is determined at closing. The process typically takes a few hours, and it’s important to come prepared with necessary documentation, identification, and funds for closing costs.
What Is Pre-approval?
Pre-approval is a process in which a lender reviews your financial information and credit score to determine how much money they are willing to lend you for a mortgage before you start house hunting. To get pre-approved, you’ll need to provide detailed financial information, including your income, assets, debts, and employment history, and the lender will check your credit score and credit history to determine your creditworthiness. If you qualify for pre-approval, the lender will provide you with a pre-approval letter, which states the maximum amount you are approved to borrow for a mortgage. Pre-approval can give you an idea of how much you can afford to spend on a home and can help you make a competitive offer, but it’s not a guarantee of a mortgage and you will still need to go through the full application process.

Delays can be caused by changes in Turkish law or regulations, delays in document processing, and other factors beyond your control, so it’s recommended to work with a qualified legal professional or real estate agent in Turkey to ensure a timely application
What Should I Offer?
When making an offer on a home, it’s important to research the local real estate market, evaluate the property, consider your budget, make a reasonable offer, be prepared to negotiate, and keep contingencies in mind. The goal is to make a fair and reasonable offer based on market conditions, the condition of the property, and your own budget and needs. Working with a qualified real estate agent can help you navigate the negotiation process and ensure that your offer is competitive.
