In this initial step, we will discuss your vision for your new home. This includes understanding your interests, non-negotiables, and the type of neighborhood you desire. Whether you’re looking for a quiet suburb, a bustling urban area, or something in between, we’ll explore your ideal location. We aim to capture every detail to ensure we find a home that perfectly matches your dreams. Use this time to provide every little detail of your dreams to me, and with my suggestions and insights, we will create a rough outline of the house you are seeking.
During this step, I will help you find a lender who can determine the amount you qualify for when purchasing a home. We'll carefully review your financial situation to ensure that the budget we set allows you to live comfortably, regardless of the qualifications your lender provides. My goal is to make sure you stay within a realistic budget that suits your lifestyle.
With a clear vision and budget in mind, we’ll start searching for your dream home. I will use the MLS to send you comparable properties that meet your criteria, and you can also share listings from sites like Realtor.com and Zillow.com with me. Once we identify potential homes, I will schedule showings and guide you on what to look for, such as foundation issues or school districts covering the area. This process helps me understand exactly what you want in a home while ensuring you are informed about critical details. This should be the 2nd best step in the process, of getting the keys to your new home!
When you find the perfect home, we’ll move on to making an offer. I will help you draft an offer that aligns with comparable property sales in the area and includes any contingencies you or I suggest. As your agent, I will fiercely advocate for you, negotiating the best possible terms and ensuring your interests are well-represented throughout the process.
In the final step, I will guide you through closing the deal, coordinating inspections, fund transfers, and the title transfer. I will ensure every detail is handled smoothly and stress-free, and answer any of your questions along the way. Once the deed is filed, we will celebrate as I hand over the keys to your new home!
