1. Define Your Goals and Budget

• Start by determining what you’re looking for in a home—location, size, amenities, and any must-have features. Then, review your finances to understand what you can comfortably afford. This will help us find homes that match your needs and budget.

2. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

• A mortgage pre-approval helps you understand your borrowing power and shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer. Connect with a lender to get pre-approved; we’re happy to recommend trusted professionals if you need a referral.

3. Start Your Home Search

• With your pre-approval and list of priorities, we’ll start searching for homes. You can use our online search tool, attend open houses, and schedule private showings to explore options. We’ll work closely with you to find homes that fit your vision.

4. Make an Offer and Negotiate

• When you find the right home, we’ll help you prepare a competitive offer based on market conditions and comparable sales. The offer process often involves negotiation, and we’ll handle all the details to secure the best possible terms for you.

5. Home Inspection and Due Diligence

• Once your offer is accepted, a home inspection will reveal any potential issues with the property. If necessary, we can negotiate repairs or credits based on the findings to ensure you’re fully informed before proceeding.

6. Secure Your Financing and Appraisal

• With the inspection complete, you’ll work with your lender to finalize your mortgage. The lender will order an appraisal to confirm the home’s value aligns with the loan amount. Once the appraisal is approved, you’ll be one step closer to closing.

7. Final Walkthrough and Closing

• Before closing, we’ll do a final walkthrough to ensure the home is in the agreed-upon condition. On closing day, you’ll sign all the necessary documents, transfer funds, and officially become the new homeowner.

8. Move In and Enjoy Your New Home!

• Congratulations! After closing, you’ll receive the keys and can start moving in. We’re here to make your transition as smooth as possible and provide resources to help you settle into your new home.
