Step ONE

MEET IN PERSON AND

CREATE A WISHLIST

Let’s get to know each other! Once we've had a chance to chat; let's schedule a time to meet. My Buyer Consultation will allow us to focus on your personal needs and desires.

Step TWO

DETERMINE YOUR

BUYING RANGE

Before you start looking for a home, you need to know how much you can spend. Getting your mortgage preapproval is the very first step in the process - and it’s never too early to start! It will strengthen your position when you’re ready to submit an offer and help you focus on opportunities in your price range. Consult with your bank and/or a mortgage specialist who will look at your current financial situation and pre-approved you for a mortgage within your budget. This pre-approval will typically be valid for 120 days.

Step THREE

SCHEDULE VIEWINGS &

ATTEND OPEN HOUSES

Here’s where the buying process gets really fun! We’ll go to local open houses together and schedule viewings of the homes that you’ve loved from our listing alerts. We’ll talk about how the budget will work and make sure that we find you the perfect home.

Step FOUR

FIND THE HOME OF YOUR

DREAMS & WRITE AN

OFFER

When you’re ready to make an offer, I prepare and present a written offer to the seller. And while everyone loves getting their offer accepted right away, the seller could come back to us with a counter offer, or reject your initial offer altogether. I'm happy to walk you through each of these possibilities and exactly how to handle them. Once the offer is accepted, it’s time to get your financing in order and move forward to the next step!

Step FIVE

ACCEPTANCE, APPRAISAL & INSPECTION

The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the property matches the condition of the property while the inspection makes sure that everything in the home is functioning properly and there are no major issues inside. These are the last steps before the shiny keys to your home are placed in your hand... for good!

Step SIX

IT'S TIME TO CLOSE &

GET THE KEYS!

Get excited because it’s time to close on your home! This process includes going through all of the final paperwork and signing your name (a lot!). Don't forget to bring all of the paperwork you’ve collected along the way and your down payment.
