Meet in person and create a wish list
Let's get to know each other! Once you're ready to work with me, we'll meet together for a Buyer Consultation to focus on your search and determine what you want and need in a home.
Pre-Qualification
I'll introduce you to my mortgage partner, who can help you determine your buying price range with confidence. Be prepared to dig into paperwork during this part of the process such as pay stubs, W2's, and tax returns. The lender will do a full review and then tell you what you will be able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital step in the home buying process!

Schedule viewings and attend open houses
Here's where the buying process gets really fun! We'll go to local open houses together and schedule viewings of the homes that you've loved from our listing alerts. We'll talk about how the budget will work and make sure that we find you the perfect home.
Find the perfect home and write an offer
When you're ready to make an offer, I will present a written offer to the seller. And while everyone loves getting their offer accepted right away, the sellers could come back to us with a counter offer, or reject your initial offer all together. I'm happy to walk you through each of these possibili

And while everyone loves getting their offer accepted right away, the sellers could come back to us with a counter offer, or reject your initial offer all together. I'm happy to walk you through each of these possibilities and how to handle them. Once the offer is accepted, its time to get your financing in order and move forward to the next step!
Acceptance, appraisal, inspection
The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the property matches the condition of the property while the inspection makes sure that everything in the home is functioning properly and there is no major issues inside.

These are the last steps before the shiny keys to your home are placed in your hand... for good!
Time to close and get keys
Get excited because it's time to close on your home! This process includes going through all of the final paperwork and signing your name (a lot!). Don't forget to bring all the paperwork you've collected along the way and your down payment.
Celebrate!
Congratulations, you did it!
