The Liberty home-buying process

1. Consult. Budget range (from your lender), timing, school needs, commute pin, must-haves.
2. Pre-approval — not a screenshot. Sellers in Liberty treat a real letter differently from a casual pre-qual.
3. Short list. We narrow to pockets — see neighborhoods — instead of 40 saved hearts.
4. Tours. Condition, basement water, roof, and whether the house competes with new builds.
5. Offer. Price, inspection scope, appraisal risk, possession. Making an offer.
6. Inspections and title. Inspection guide and Missouri closing customs.
7. Close. Closing in Missouri — wire safety, walkthrough, keys.

If you are also selling somewhere else

Contingencies, rent-backs, and bridge conversations belong in the first consult, not the night before you write an offer. MoJo can coordinate a two-sided plan when the other home is in our market; if you are selling out of state, we work with that listing agent instead of pretending we list another metro from Clay County.

Timing: buyer timeline.
