Your Home Buying Guide

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing your goals, timeline, and budget. This helps me understand what matters most to you and sets clear expectations for the process.

Step 2: Financing and Pre-Approval

Before you start shopping, it is important to get pre-approved. This defines your price range and strengthens your offer when you find the right home.

Step 3: Home Search

With your criteria in hand, I will curate a tailored list of properties, including off-market opportunities through my VIP network. We will tour homes together and narrow down until we find the right fit.

Step 5: Home Inspection

After your offer is accepted, we schedule a home inspection. This ensures you have a clear understanding of the property’s condition and can request repairs or credits if necessary.

Step 6: Financing Contingency

Your lender will finalize your loan approval during this stage. I will stay in close communication with your lender to make sure everything stays on track.

Step 7: Appraisal

The lender will order an appraisal to confirm the home’s value aligns with the purchase price. I will guide you through the process and address any issues if the appraisal comes in low.

Step 8: HOA or Condo Document Review

If the property is part of a community, you will receive HOA or condo documents to review. This gives you time to evaluate rules, budgets, and community policies before finalizing your purchase.

Step 9: Closing Day

This is the big moment. You sign the final documents, receive the keys, and officially become a homeowner.
