1. Get Pre-Approved

Work with a lender to get a pre-approval letter. 

3. First Pass

I go through all current open listings and we go through what you like and don't like. I set up showings for the ones you like. We take notes on pros and cons. 

5. Make an offer

Once you find the one I help you structure the deal. Based off of conversations I have with the listing agents and previous experience I can guide you on how to craft the strongest offer. 

2. Needs & Wants Analysis

Work with me to go over what your must haves and wants are in your next home

4. Next Steps

After the first pass I can set you up with a bi-weekly search email campaign. This isn't all I do though. I search daily through all newly listed homes and personally send you ones that fit the criteria. You decide which ones you want to see. I set up all appointments. 

6. Offer gets accepted

Sometimes it takes multiple counter offers but eventually an offer gets accepted! This is when you wire your earnest money deposit in. See the buyer cheat sheet related to costs here for more info. 

7. Transaction Coordinator Engaged

My transaction coordinator sends you the timeline for key milestones & sends you all forms to sign throughout the process and there are a lot of them!

8. Loan Process Begins

We work with the lender to get rate locked in and loan process started.

9. Inspection Process

I schedule inspections for you and sit in on all of them. Once they are done I go through the reports with you and you decide next steps. 

11. Contingency Removal

Once you are completely satisfied with the outcome after inspections you can remove the inspection contingency, once the bank had the home appraised and you are satisfied with the outcome you can remove the appraisal contingency and once the lender gives the go ahead you can remove the loan contingency. Now is where you are locked in and headed towards the finish line! 

10. Decisions, decisions
