Meet with a lender.

This is a great opportunity to discuss your loan options and budgeting with your lender. Your lender will use the information you provide to determine the maximum amount you can borrow and provide you with preapproval.  If you don’t have a lender, we can refer you to several we know and trust.

Let’s look at homes!

This is the fun part! Based on our conversations, we will send you listings to look through that match the homes and neighborhoods you are interested in. We will schedule showings and visit open houses of the ones you love.

Prepare and make an offer.

When you are ready to make an offer, we will outline the essential details that will make your offer stand out. If the seller makes a counter offer, we will negotiate on your behalf and advocate for the outcome that benefits you the most.
