Whether you're buying your first home or upgrading to your dream home, the home-buying process is detailed and complex. But it doesn't have to be difficult. Our goal at Cartus is to help you and your family find the home that's just right for you in a manner that is enjoyable and rewarding.

Here's what we'll do for you as your partner in the home-buying process:

• Based on your unique needs, Cartus will recommend an approved real estate firm, which will appoint to you a trained and qualified real estate agent.
• Your personalized profile will be relayed immediately to the approved real estate firm in order to jump-start the process of researching homes that meet your criteria, saving you time when you go house hunting.
• To help target communities that you might consider for your next home, browse our Neighborhood Info tool for specific community demographics, including information on housing prices, property taxes, local schools, and points of interest.
• Through Cartus Home Loans, or your company approved lender, we'll help you get pre-qualified for a mortgage, so you'll know what price house you can afford, or get pre-approved to increase your negotiating power when you find the home you wish to purchase.

In addition to our high-touch, high-quality service, you'll find that the Buying and Financing sections of Guiding You Through the Process offer additional expert guidance, tools and tips for finding and purchasing your home — from understanding the mortgage process and evaluating a home and community to negotiating the best deal.
