“Brad and his team are THE BEST! In such a stressful market he was always able to make sense of what we were looking for and knew exactly what we needed. His knowledge and expertise in real estate and the Austin area is extensive and was extremely helpful while we narrowed our search and learned about the area and school districts. I am so appreciative of everything Brad Schaible and his team at Schaible Realty did for us.

Buying here is more than finding a place you like

It's understanding what you're actually buying into — the building, the board, the numbers behind the listing. We've been through enough of these deals to know what holds up and what doesn't, and we put that knowledge to work for you from the first showing to closing day. Our clients get access to units before they're public, straight answers about what a place is really worth, and someone in their corner through every part of the process — financing, inspections, board approval, all of it.

“We could not be happier to have bought our first home with the Schaible team on our side. Brad is simply amazing, from virtual tours to making sure we have the fans we needed (he even picked them up from Lowe’s) to checking all the valves in the home himself and lighting our fireplace! He goes above and beyond and sees your purchase past closing. We are truly blessed to have had Schaible Realty. Thank you so much Brad!”

Negotiations and contract

It may take a few tries to get it just right, but hang in there. In most cases, the contract gives you a timeline to obtain financing and time to inspect the home's physical condition. We'll walk you through all of your rights and responsibilities under the contract.

06

Under contract

You and the seller have agreed on price and terms. The home is effectively held for you until closing.

07

Final details

This is due diligence: the inspection, the appraisal, and reviewing terms with your lender. As closing nears, you'll finalize your loan, review documents, and go over the inspection findings. We manage this entire process for you.

08

Closing

This is the transfer of funds and ownership. A title company or attorney acts as an independent third party to handle the closing. Congratulations, you're a new homeowner!

FAQ

Your questions answered

A few practical notes to help you move through the process with confidence.

Still have questions?

What should I do before buying a home?

Start by defining your budget, preferred location, and must-have features. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage and understanding your financial goals can also help you shop with confidence and make stronger offers.

How much home can I afford?

Your ideal budget depends on your income, existing debts, down payment, credit profile, and monthly expenses. I can help you understand the overall costs and connect you with trusted lending professionals to determine a comfortable price range.

Do I need to get pre-approved for a mortgage?

While it may not always be required, getting pre-approved is highly recommended. It gives you a clearer understanding of your budget and shows sellers that you are a serious and qualified buyer.

How long does the home buying process take?

The timeline varies depending on the property, financing, inspections, and closing process. Once you find the right home and your offer is accepted, I’ll guide you through each step toward closing.

What costs should I expect when buying a home?

Beyond the purchase price, buyers may need to budget for a down payment, closing costs, inspections, appraisal fees, lender fees, insurance, and other transaction-related expenses.

Can you help me find homes that match my needs and budget?

Absolutely. I can help narrow your search based on your budget, preferred location, lifestyle, and priorities, while keeping you informed about new properties and opportunities that match your criteria.

What happens after my offer is accepted?

Once your offer is accepted, the transaction typically moves into the due diligence and closing stages. This may include inspections, appraisal, financing, paperwork, and final negotiations before you receive the keys to your new home.
