Buying a Home

GETTING STARTED

PreapprovalMeet your lender, or let us introduce you to one of our lender partners. Once you get a preapproval, you may need to determine the difference between the price you are approved for vs a mortgage payment you are comfortable with, especially for first time Buyers, After all, this may not be your forever home; build equity and grow.


Getting to know youOur goal is to help you identify what area fits best with your budget and lifestyle. You may know exactly what you are looking for, and that is perfect! We want you to know that we are not interested in just selling you a home, we are dedicated to finding the best home for you.


Investment of timeSure, you may know exactly what you are looking for, but just in case: we are available to show you as many properties as necessary to find the home that best fits your needs. Our philosophy includes helping you make informed decisions, and sometimes that means viewing properties that don’t quite work. We are happy to to exhaust all possibilities, and this process can help you to know the right home once you find it!


Target identifiedOnce we know what you are looking for we will find it. We will knock on doors, contact agents for pocket listings, old expired listings, on market and off market. No stone will be left unturned. Some of our best finds are properties that were not for sale until we knocked on the door!
