Home Buying Process

Work with a lender to get a pre-approval letter. Contact me today for some of our clients favorite lenders.

Work with me to go over what your must haves and wants are in your next home.

I go through all current open listings and we go through what you like and don't like. I set up showings for the ones you like. We take notes on pros and cons.

After the first pass I can set you up with a bi-weekly search email campaign. This isn't all I do though. I search daily through all newly listed homes and personally send you ones that fit the criteria so you see them first. You decide which ones you want to see. I set up all appointments. 

Once you find the one I help you structure the deal. Based off of conversations I have with the listing agents and previous experience I can guide you on how to craft the strongest offer.

Sometimes it takes multiple counter offers but eventually an offer gets accepted! This is when you wire your earnest money deposit in. For a full breakdown, see the Home Buying Costs page.

My transaction coordinator sends you the timeline for key milestones & sends you all forms to sign throughout the process and there are a lot of them!

We work with the lender to get the rate locked in and loan process started.

I schedule inspections for you and sit in on all of them. Once they are done I go through the reports with you and you decide next steps.

Either you want to proceed, you want to ask for credits or you want to ask for repairs. I go over all the options with you and discuss the pros and cons of each.

Once you are completely satisfied with the outcome after inspections you can remove the inspection contingency, once the bank had the home appraised and you are satisfied with the outcome you can remove the appraisal contingency and once the lender gives the go ahead you can remove the loan contingency. Now is where you are locked in and headed towards the finish line!

You work with the lender to finalize funding. Once it is you can sign all the paperwork with a notary. You now own a home!
