The Experience
Buying a home should feel exciting—not overwhelming.
We guide you through a clear, organized process from your first conversation to closing day.
Step 1: A Clear First Conversation
We start by walking through the entire buying process so you know what to expect at every stage, including:
- Loan pre-approvals
- Offers and negotiations
- Inspections and contingencies
- Appraisal, financing, and closing
This is especially helpful for first-time buyers or anyone who hasn’t bought in a while.
Step 2: Understanding Your “Why”
Before searching for homes, we focus on how you want to live. We’ll talk through:
- What your ideal home looks and feels like
- Where you imagine spending your time
- Whether this is a long-term home or a stepping stone
- Budget comfort and timing needs
- Any deadlines or transitions you’re navigating
The right home starts with your life—not just a wish list.
Step 3: Ongoing Communication
Strong communication keeps the process smooth. You can expect:
- Frequent check-ins by phone, text, and email
- Automated home searches matched to your criteria
- Regular feedback as the search evolves
You’re never left wondering what’s happening next.
Step 4: A Focused Home Search
Once we understand your goals, we begin the search using the local MLS. The process includes:
- Narrowing options by price, size, style, and condition
- Eliminating communities based on location, traffic, and lifestyle fit
- Previewing neighborhoods early to refine direction
Most buyers tour about 12 homes over roughly 12 weeks, adjusting as we learn what fits best.
Step 5: Writing a Strong Offer
When you’re ready, we guide you through every detail of the offer, including:
- Price strategy
- Down payment and seller contributions
- Warranties and contingencies
- Inspection, appraisal, and financing terms
We advocate for you throughout negotiations so you can move forward with confidence.
