Amy Warren Ohio Realtor
My Central Ohio
Buyer's Guide
A clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the homebuying process — from getting pre-approved to closing day. Written for Central Ohio buyers, by a local REALTOR® who works in this market every week.
01
Getting financially ready
Credit, savings, and the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval. What lenders actually want to see.
02
Knowing your true budget
Beyond the monthly payment, taxes, insurance, HOA, maintenance reserves, and what's reasonable in this market.
03
Searching with intent
How to build a realistic must-have/nice-to-have list, and how to read a listing critically before you tour.
04
Writing a strong offer
Price, terms, contingencies, earnest money and what each piece does and where buyers tend to overpay or under-protect themselves.
5
Inspections & negotiations
What inspectors actually find, what's worth pushing back on, and what's normal wear-and-tear in older Central Ohio homes.
06
Closing day & beyond
The final walk-through, what to bring to the closing table, and what to do in your first 30 days as an owner.
