Buying Process

Once under contract, the process to close on a home can take about 30 days if you are financing.

1. Initial Consultation

We’ll talk through your goals, timeline, and budget to create a strategy tailored to you. It's also a chance for you to see if I’m the right fit.

2. Get Pre-Approved

I’ll connect you with trusted lenders to determine your buying power and strengthen your offers. This needs to happen before you go look at houses.

3. House Shopping

You’ll receive curated listings based on your criteria—and I’ll help you evaluate homes as they hit the market. Once you pick your favorites, we will go tour them. 

4. Write an Offer

I’ll help you structure a strong, strategic offer and handle the negotiation. We'll focus on the price, terms, timelines that fit your needs.

5. Inspection & Due Diligence

Hooray! Your offer has been accepted and now the clock is ticking for us to conduct inspections, negotiate repairs, order the appraisal, and satisfy all contingencies with your best interest in mind.

6. Clear to Close

You have done your due diligence and have met all the conditions that your lender required. It’s the official signal from the lender that your financing is ready, and the escrow or title company can schedule your final signing appointment! Make sure you schedule your movers, call the utility companies and register your change of address with the post office. 

7. Final Signing

The escrow company will reach out to schedule your final signing. Do not forget to bring a form of Identification and a cashier's check for the down payment + closing costs (indicated on the final settlement statement). You can also wire the funds the day before.

8. Closing Day!!!

Once documents are signed by all parties, they get sent back to the lender for review. The loan gets funded, and the new deed is then recorded with the county. Once we are 'recorded' I get the call that we're all closed!! Now I meet with you to hand over those keys. Congratulations!
