buying process
01
Initial Consultation
Your home-buying journey begins with a personalized consultation. I take the time to listen to your goals, preferences, and budget so I can fully understand what “home” means to you. Together, we’ll define your ideal home criteria and establish a clear, efficient plan to make your search focused and stress-free.
02
Property Search and Selection
Once I understand your vision, I conduct a detailed market analysis and identify homes that match your lifestyle, location preferences, and investment goals. You’ll receive a curated list of properties to review that will save you time while ensuring that every home you see has real potential.
03
Negotiation and Offer
When you’ve found the perfect home, I’ll put my 22+ years of real estate experience to work for you. I’ll craft a strong, competitive offer and negotiate strategically on your behalf that will focus on both value and protection. From price to contingencies, my goal is to secure the best possible deal while keeping your interests front and center.
04
Due Diligence and Inspections
After your offer is accepted, I’ll guide you through every detail of the due diligence process. I’ll help you schedule inspections, review reports, and ensure you fully understand the condition of the property. My proactive approach keeps surprises to a minimum and ensures you make informed, confident decisions.
05
Financing and Closing Process
I work closely with trusted local lenders to help make your financing process as seamless as possible. From pre-approval to final closing, I’ll keep you informed at every step and make sure all documents and timelines stay on track. My goal is to make your closing process smooth, organized, and stress-free.
06
Post-Closing Support
My relationship with you doesn’t end at the closing table. After you’ve settled into your new home, I’m still here to help with any remaining questions, referrals, or resources you might need. I take pride in building lasting relationships because my success is measured by your satisfaction long after the sale.
