BEFORE WE OPEN ANY DOORS

Start with the numbers.
Then make the list.

01 / TALK WITH A LOCAL LENDER

Know what works
for your budget.

We begin with a conversation about financing. I can connect you with preferred local lenders who have experience with a wide range of mortgage options. You're always free to choose your own lender.

That conversation helps you understand potential loan options, monthly payments and what you may need at closing before you fall for a house.

Let's know the numbers before we pick out the couch.

02 / YOUR NEEDS & YOUR WANTS

What has to be there?
What would be nice?

We'll sit down and work through your list, your preferred areas and what you can comfortably afford. The goal is to cover your needs and fit in as many wants as we can.

Then I build personalized home searches and schedule showings around the homes that make sense for you.

AT THE SHOWING

The photos got you here.
Let's look a little closer.

A nice kitchen is worth a look. So is the furnace. We walk through the details that could affect what it's like to own the home.

THE HOUSE ITSELF

What's behind
the pretty pictures?

  • Visible condition and things worth investigating.
  • The age and available information about the roof, furnace, water heater and air conditioning.
  • Questions to take to the seller or a qualified inspector.
YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE

How does the
location fit?

  • The neighborhood and surroundings that matter to your routine.
  • Nearby local businesses, restaurants and useful resources.
  • How the home and location compare with your own priorities.
YOUR DECISION

Bring the questions.
All of them.

I'll tell you what I see and help you work through the tradeoffs. You decide whether this is a home you want to pursue.

A showing helps us spot questions. A professional inspection gives us a deeper look at the home's condition.

BEFORE YOU WRITE AN OFFER

Understand the numbers.
Understand what you sign.

Once we find a home, we go through the hard numbers before writing an offer. We'll discuss the price, terms, timing and inspection options, and how those pieces work together.

I'll explain the contract and help you construct and negotiate an offer you understand. Questions belong here, before your signature.

MAKING YOUR MONEY GO FURTHER

What other help
might be available?

We'll explore whether lender identified assistance or other eligible funding sources could help, and whether seller credits could be part of the negotiation.

Availability depends on your eligibility, loan program and the terms the parties agree to. Your lender confirms what can be used and how it affects your numbers.

YOU'RE UNDER CONTRACT. NOW WHAT?

Plenty of moving parts.
People helping you through them.

I stay involved, and our attentive transaction coordinator works hand in hand with you on the paperwork and the steps leading to closing.

03 / INSPECTIONS & NEXT STEPS

We work through
what we find.

We'll review which inspections may be useful for the property. I attend your home inspection with you to help answer questions and work through concerns.

Once the results are in, we discuss any repair or credit requests that make sense. If serious findings change your decision, we review your options, including whether the contract allows termination and the deadlines that apply.

04 / APPRAISAL & PAPERWORK

Keep the process
moving toward closing.

I'll help you understand the appraisal report and work through questions with your lender. We also coordinate with the title company and help you keep track of the paperwork along the way.

You'll have both me and our transaction coordinator helping you understand what's next.

05 / WALKTHROUGH & KEYS

Let's get you
ready to move in.

I provide utility information so you can start setting up your accounts. We do the final walkthrough together, and I'm there at closing to hand you the keys and celebrate.

And you still get to call Uncle Adam after moving day. Scheduled check ins are part of how I stay in touch once you're a homeowner.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

A few things
you might be wondering.

What if I also have a home to sell?

Let's bring that into the first conversation. We'll work through timing, whether you need proceeds from the sale, and the financing questions to discuss with your lender.

See how we approach selling
Do I need to know exactly what I want?

No. Start with what isn't working where you live now. We can sort the essentials from the wish list together and build the search from there.

Can you help me use less of my own money?

That's something we actively explore. Your lender can explain eligible financing and assistance options, and we can consider seller credits when shaping an offer. What works depends on your situation, the loan and the negotiation.

What if I'm still months away?

That's a good time to talk. You can understand the process, speak with a lender and work through your priorities before you're ready to schedule showings.

LET'S START WITH YOUR SITUATION

Your next home.
Let's figure it out.

Tell me what you need, what you'd love to have, and what you're still trying to figure out. That's enough to start.
