Our Buying process
Buying a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
With our local expertise and clear communication, we keep things simple so you can make confident decisions from start to finish.
01 Get Pre Approved
Your search starts with understanding your buying power. A trusted lender will review your financials and issue a pre approval letter. This gives you a clear price range and strengthens your offer when the right home comes along. Sellers take pre approved buyers seriously, especially in competitive markets.
02 star your search
Browse the latest MLS listings, save favorites, and set alerts. We also look for homes that match your goals and schedule showings when something stands out. Seeing homes in person is where everything begins to take shape.
03 Making an Offer
When you are ready to move forward, we will help you write a strong, strategic offer. We walk through price, terms, contingencies, timing, and anything specific to your situation. After you submit, the seller can accept, reject, or counter. If they counter, we negotiate on your behalf until both sides agree or decide to move on.
04 Under Contract
Once your offer is accepted, the home is held for you while we move toward closing. You will send earnest money and finalize loan details with your lender. Every financing path is different, and we make sure you choose the loan program that fits your needs.
05 Home Inspection
A licensed inspector will evaluate the home’s structure and systems. If anything needs attention, we will talk through options such as credits, repairs, or adjustments to the agreement. You should know exactly what you are buying.
06 Appraisal
If you are financing, your lender will order an appraisal to confirm the home’s value. If the value comes in lower than expected, we may renegotiate or adjust terms. We guide you through the best options.
07 Final Walkthrough
Before closing, we walk the property together to confirm it is in the expected condition and that any agreed upon repairs are complete. This is your final check before signing.
08 Closing Day
Time to celebrate. Your lender will issue final disclosures with loan terms and closing costs. Once documents are signed and funds are released, you receive your keys and the home is officially yours.
