BUYING

Let me help you every step of the way


I am always familiar with the current homes on the market, and I know how values fluctuate in your area well, so I can help you determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition before you start your search.

When purchasing a home, you are faced with a multitude of decisions! The primary one is whether you are actually prepared to purchase a home. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining a mortgage loan can be a complex and tiring process. Although once you have determined  you are ready to move forward, the rewards are unquestionable.

 While at your side each step of the way, I will make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you navigate this challenge on your own. I will help you prepare so sellers perceive you as a preferred buyer, help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your specifications, and help you through the myriad of details attending the actual purchase.

Finding The Right Home For You

Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to stay in, I can help you determine which properties fit your needs by using the online tools available to locate them.

Visualize Your Dream Home

Why you're choosing this time to buy will help answer critical questions that will guide your search after you have established your price range. Deciding what type of home will best suit your lifestyle is based on decisions about what type of home will best suite the lifestyle you're envisioning.

Meet With a REALTOR

It is important to parter with a REALTOR you feel completely comfortable with. A REALTOR can help you find your dream home, that meets both your needs and your budget. They will set up with viewing appointments, and also help bring clarity to the complicated process of buying a home. You will want to go with an experienced and knowledgeable REALTOR who you can be sure will represent your best interests. 

The Search

Using a property search engine and consulting with your REALTOR, you will be able to find homes in your desired areas that meet your needs. You will be kept up to date regarding new listings and will schedule your home viewing appointments.

The Final Process

Your REALTOR can help you place an offer that a seller will either accept, counter, or reject. After you have negotiated an offer, you will need to conduct a home inspection and deal with any repairs (the cost of which you can also negotiate with the seller). Finalize your mortgage with a visit with your lender or broker, and you will be ready to sign off on ownership! This typically takes place in a lawyer or a notary's office. 

At this point... CONGRATULATIONS!! Becoming a new homeowner is one of the most liberating things you will ever experience. There are many benefits to home ownership - pride of ownership, the ability to make home improvements, building equity, appreciation - the list goes on!!

Every Step of the Way

Bear in mind, I will be working for you every step along the way to ensure you receive the greatest possible price for the home you are buyer as possible!
