01
Home buying consultation
We meet in person or on a call and walk through the process. Timing, wants, needs, and the life you are trying to make room for. I will share neighborhoods, schools, market numbers, and anything else you need to decide where we should be looking.
02
Pre-approval
If you need financing, we start with a local lender. I can introduce you to people I trust. You share the financials they need, and they help you land on a budget that is real, not a number that falls apart later.
03
Home search
We write search criteria and listing alerts from what you actually need. We tour until we find a house that fits. Along the way we talk through what we are seeing together, including how a home compares with the listing photos.
04
Make an offer
We write a competitive offer from recent sales and current market data, then I negotiate for the best price and terms. Once everyone has signed, earnest money is due.
05
Home inspection & survey
We review the property disclosures and I coordinate a professional inspection of the whole house. If repairs or credits are in play, I get bids and negotiate. We order and review a survey of the property lines when it is needed.
06
Document review & appraisal
Together we go through the title commitment, due diligence, and HOA documents, and we deal with anything that comes up. Your lender orders the appraisal to confirm value and finalize the loan.
07
Closing & moving day
You and your lender review the final numbers. We do a last walk-through, then the papers are signed in front of a notary. You get the keys.
