The Home Buying
Process
Consultation
1

Consultation

Our first meeting is all about you—your goals, timeline, budget, and what matters most when buying a home. I’ll walk you through the process, answer your questions, and set clear expectations so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Get Pre-Approved

Get Pre-Approved

Pre-approval tells you exactly what you can afford and shows sellers you’re serious and qualified. With a strong pre-approval in hand, we can move quickly on the right home and write smarter offers with confidence.

Home Shopping

Home Shopping

Now the fun begins! I’ll set up personalized home alerts, schedule showings, and help you evaluate each property. Together we’ll compare features, neighborhoods, and pricing to find the best match for your lifestyle and goals.

Negotiating & Making Offers

Negotiating & Making Offers

Before we submit an offer, I’ll do the legwork to understand exactly what it will take to win—price, terms, timing, and the seller’s priorities. This “pre-negotiation” keeps us on the inside track so your offer is tailored to get accepted without overpaying.

Home Inspection

Home Inspection

Once your offer is accepted, we’ll schedule a professional inspection to assess the home’s overall condition. I’ll help you review the findings and, if needed, negotiate repairs or credits so you’re protected and comfortable moving forward.

Appraisal
6

Appraisal

Your lender orders an appraisal to confirm the home’s value matches the purchase price. This protects you and the lender from overpaying. If the value comes in low, we’ll strategize solutions to keep your purchase on track.

Sign & Close
7

Sign & Close

I’ll coordinate closely with the seller’s agent, escrow, title, and your lender to ensure an accurate, on-time closing. You’ll review and sign your final documents, funds are transferred, and the keys are handed over—welcome to your new home!

Move-In & Beyond

Move-In & Beyond

The keys are yours—time to celebrate! Even after closing, I’m a call or text away for contractor recommendations, neighborhood tips, and ongoing market updates. Think of me as your real estate resource long after move-in.
