Initial Consultation

This is where I listen. You might have a clear idea of your desires, or you might require assistance in clarifying them. In this phase, I attentively consider your preferences, financial plan, schedule, driving forces, and more. Then, I devise a strategy to make progress towards your goal. For those who are purchasing for the first time, I will additionally provide guidance on how the process works.

The fun part. I'll arrange the optimal search approach for you, after which we begin the shopping process! Although this phase can be quite enjoyable, it also presents a chance to acquire the skill of discerning crucial positive and negative qualities beyond attractive countertops or paint colors.

Write an Offer

I specialize in crafting clever and desirable offers and superb negotiation. We'll present a purchase offer to the seller. The choice of which terms to propose rests with you, yet I'll assist you in understanding the elements of a well-crafted, successful offer. Then, negotiate on your behalf to ensure the finals terms are what is best for you.

Guide You Through the Sale

An accepted offer is only on piece of the puzzle. Offer accepted. Fantastic! To progress towards the closing phase, we must now skillfully navigate aspects such as home inspections, surveys, home warranties, appraisals, financing contingencies, and any ensuing negotiations. This stage involves numerous components in motion, but rest assured, I’ve got it covered.

Final Details

Almost there! In the moments leading up to the closing, there's typically a quiet period while we await the finalization of matters with lenders, title companies, and so on. During this phase, I focus on finer points like utility transfers, possession dates, and the exchange of keys. I'll also furnish you with checklists to facilitate a smooth transition.
