For buyers, especially those navigating a purchase alongside a sale, my focus is on bringing clarity and reducing noise.
I take the time upfront to understand how my clients think and what they respond to in a home. From there, I help filter opportunities—often previewing homes on their behalf—so they can stay focused on the properties that truly align.
When the right home comes along, I bring a strategic approach to structuring the offer balancing price, terms, and timing to create the strongest possible position.
Find a Realtor who you connect with, who you trust to provide you with resources, insight, and most of all, who will put your goals first.
Connect with a local mortgage broker, determine your price “comfort zone” and complete the pre-approval process. Once you have a pre-approval letter in hand, you are ready to start looking at homes!
I will send you active properties that match your search criteria. You choose the properties you’d like to tour and we schedule showings at times most convenient for you.
Find “the one,” write a competitive offer, get your offer accepted, and start the escrow process!
From acceptance you have 3 business days to provide earnest money (typically 3% to 5% of your offer price). This is a customary sign of good faith, that you intend to move forward with the purchase.
You have up to 5 business days from acceptance to complete inspections and negotiate repairs with the seller (during this time you can also terminate your offer and get your earnest money back).
Review the preliminary title report with your title company.
Complete the appraisal process, order homeowners insurance, and get final loan approval from your lender.
Sign your loan documents at the title company (typically a few days before closing).
Close on the sale, and receive the keys to your new home!
