Buying your Home

Before we start searching, I’d love to hear about your dreams and goals for this next purchase. We’ll sit down together to talk through your timeline, what you’re looking for and what matters most to you. I’ll share how I can help make it happen and what you can expect along the way.

The first step is getting pre-approved with a mortgage lender, and I’m happy to connect you with trusted lenders I know and love working with. Pre-approval gives you a clear picture of your budget so we can focus your search on the right homes. It also shows sellers you’re a serious buyer, which puts you one step ahead when it’s time to make an offer.

I’ll set up a custom search based on your criteria, so you’re notified as soon as a home that fits comes on the market. Through The Group, I also have access to homes before they hit the open market, giving you an early look at properties other buyers may not see yet.

When you find a home you’d like to see in person, I’ll schedule a private tour and gather any additional information available. If you love it and want to move forward, I’ll put together a pricing analysis showing how the home compares to others in the area, so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Once you’ve found the one, I’ll help you prepare a strong offer and negotiate with the seller’s agent on your behalf. My negotiation experience helps me guide you through the terms and details that can set your offer apart, especially in a competitive market.

Once your offer is accepted, I’ll guide you through every step leading up to closing. I’ll track important dates and deadlines, stay in close contact with your lender and keep everything moving on schedule. Along the way, I’ll help you through the inspection, the appraisal if your loan requires one and any other due diligence. My goal is to give you as much information as possible, and my vendor relationships help us get answers quickly when questions come up, so you can feel confident about your purchase.

I’ll work closely with the title company, lender and seller’s agent to make sure everything is in place for a seamless closing. Then it’s time to grab your keys and celebrate. We did it!

My support doesn’t end at the closing table. I’m here as a resource for as long as you own your home, whether you need a trusted vendor, advice on a project or an update on what your home is worth.
