Buying Process

A clear path to coming home.

Get Started

1.

Get Pre-Approved with a Lender

Start your journey on solid ground with a pre-approval from a trusted lender. This crucial first step provides a clear picture of your budget and shows sellers you're a serious buyer.

2.

Set your budget

With pre-approval in hand, it’s time to define a budget that balances your desires with financial comfort, ensuring you look at homes that match your lifestyle and means.

3.

Start the Home Search

The search for your home is a journey we take together, exploring neighborhoods and properties that resonate with your vision of the perfect space.

4.

Make an offer

When you find 'the one,' we'll be there to craft a compelling offer, positioning you for success while respecting your financial boundaries.

5.

Inspections

A thorough inspection is key to confidence in your purchase. We'll guide you through this process, ensuring any concerns are addressed and resolved.

6.

Remove Contingencies

We'll help you navigate the final details, from finalizing the mortgage to ensuring all contractual conditions are met with precision and care.

7.

Closing day

The day you've been waiting for. We'll ensure all the paperwork is in order and prepare to hand over the keys to your new home.

8.
