If you are a first-time home buyer, use the guide below for helpful hints and tips and learn how to avoid common mistakes when buying your first home in Sioux Falls, SD. Pre-Qualification: Meet with a mortgage broker and find out how much you can afford to pay for a home. Pre-Approval: While knowing how much you can afford is the first step, sellers will be much more receptive to potential buyers who have been pre-approved.
Before the offer to purchase is created, it is very important that you have been at least pre-qualified or better yet pre-approved by a lender. When you are buying a home, there are many problems that the seller is obligated to disclose. For example, in most states, it is illegal to withhold information about major physical defects on the property, but these disclosures don't always paint the entire picture of the home.
You've found your dream home, the seller has accepted your offer, your loan has been approved and you're eager to move into your new home. But before you get the key, there's one more step--the closing. Also called the settlement, the closing is the process of passing ownership of property from seller to buyer.
Congratulations, you are on your way to owning your very own home! Follow these suggestions (and your Realtors's advice) so that escrow and settlement with go as smooth as possible. You will be asked for a down payment on the home you are purchasing.
You can choose to put down as much or as little as you want (depending on your mortgage), but remember, the more you put down toward the total price of your home, the less time it will take you to pay off and the less your mortgage payments will be every month.

We were connected with Tara and Megan. We couldn't believe how helpful, responsive and knowledgeable they were during our home-buying experience. They understood our values and advocated for us, making us feel confident every step of the way. They have killer negotiation skills and know their stuff. Throughout the process, Ashley was assigned as our transaction coordinator. She was accommodating and communicative about all big and small concerns. We will 100% trust with the Allen Edge Real Estate Team with finding or selling our next home!

Allen Edge team made our first home purchase easy. They were available any time of the day and ready to help. The team would send updates on houses posted on market right away. Melissa and Ashley would also take us for a tour on houses ata any time. Always worked on our schedule, before or after work and weekends. Great real estate company, they put in great effort to get you what you want. Finally, they lend you a moving truck which was very helpful

My husband and I had a great experience working with Suzanne Erickson, Ashley Carter and the rest of the Allen Edge team. Suzanne was so patient with us as she took us all around Sioux Falls; I think we saw 10 or 11 houses in one day. She was also very helpful throughout the entire process; a true advocate for us on the ground in Sioux Falls as we worked with her from WA State. Suzanne went above and beyond to help us craft a "winning" bid for our home and she has made us feel welcome in a new community. Ashley was always available to answer questions and help us with paperwork. We couldn't have

My wife and I were both first time homebuyers. When we started this process we honestly had no idea what we really needed to do or what we were truly looking for. Sandy and this team helped us with every step of the way. They were beyond helpful and informational. Even today, a few months after they helped us find the perfect home, they are still always available for any questions and helping with any issues we have being new home owners. I fully recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home!

Our Agent on their team, Sandy McConnell was wonderful and the little treats she dropped off were just a topper on everything. Highly Recommend this Crew !

CeAnna Pruitt-Hartley, Ashley Carter, and Mackenzie Schmidt are truly a dream team. Together they worked consistently and was able to achieve the price we wanted in the timeframe we wanted. I will never entertain another marketing team because they truly will not meet my needs. Huge thank you for ALL that you do!

I cannot recommend Tara and her real estate team enough! Tara and her team helped us move our family from the west coast to Sioux Falls and they were present every step of the way. Their communication and quick replies to all of our questions and concerns were on point and always helped put us at ease during this big family transition. Allen Edge helped us find the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood for our family and we will be forever grateful to them. Tara is especially accessible, professional, organized and always enthusiastic! It is without hesitation that we would choose Allen Edge

I was referred to Tara Allen from my sister when we bought our first house in Sioux Falls and am so grateful for that connection. Working with the Tara Allen Edge Team was a great experience; Tara walked us through the entire process which made it so easy; she made suggestions on how to effectively stage our home and took professional pictures for the listing. Because all of the tools, resources and suggestions this allowed our home to sell quickly. Tara was able to sell our house in less than 3 days! We needed a bigger home for our growing family and she was able to help with the purchase of a

CeAnna is absolutely wonderful to work with! She helped us both buy and sell our home. Honestly, I could probably write a novel about how amazing and helpful she was, especially since we were first time buyers and sellers. She was always very quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns and made both processes easy. When buying, I feel like she really cared about finding us the right home for us - there was absolutely no pressure. When selling, she always kept us one step ahead, so we were prepared for any situation, whether with getting offers, or handling inspection and addendums. I

We recently sold our home through the Allen Edge Team. Megan Larsen was our realtor and she far exceeded the expectations we had. Megan was professional, stayed in constant contact with us, she negotiated in good-faith, was competitive to earn our business, and delivered on the sale getting us everything we wanted including an offer above asking. Megan invested so personally in getting to know us that she tailored a gift to us that meant something and wasn't just a cup or a sign but truly something meaningful to us. She was there every step of the way and even stopped by while we were moving out
