The 6-Step Buyer Process
- 1
Get pre-approved
Talk to a lender before browsing. Sellers in Wayne and Malvern often won't consider offers without a pre-approval letter.
- 2
Define school + commute priorities
Pick your target school districts (T/E, Great Valley, Radnor, Lower Merion) and acceptable commute to Center City Philadelphia.
- 3
Tour with a local agent
A Main Line agent who tours homes weekly knows which streets are appreciating, which have hidden flood zones, and how to spot deferred maintenance.
- 4
Make a strong offer
We use live Bright MLS comparables plus AI-powered analysis to price your offer right — escalation clauses, inspection terms, and seller concessions.
- 5
Inspection + appraisal
Never skip the home inspection. Older Philadelphia suburb homes commonly have radon, aging electrical panels, and roofing issues.
- 6
Closing day
Closing costs in PA run 2–5% of purchase price including 1% transfer tax (split with seller), title insurance, and lender fees.
