STEP 1: Initial Consulation & Goal Setting

We start with a clear understanding of your goals, budget, and timeline so every step of the process is aligned with what matters most to you. This is a relaxed, informative conversation designed to give you clarity—not overwhelm. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to expect moving forward..

STEP 2: Pre-Approval & Financial Preparation

Getting pre-approved early gives you a strong competitive advantage and ensures we’re only looking at homes that truly fit your financial comfort zone. I guide you through lender options and make sure you understand your numbers before we write a single offer. This step removes surprises and keeps the process smooth.

STEP 3: Home Search & Property Tours

I curate homes that match your lifestyle needs—not just your price point. Tours are efficient, organized, and built around what you’ve told me you value most in a home and neighborhood. You’ll always know the pros, cons, and “feel” of each property so the right home becomes obvious.

STEP 4: Writing a Winning Offer

When you find “the one,” I walk you through pricing strategy, terms, and negotiation angles to make your offer stand out. You’ll know exactly why we structure the offer the way we do. My goal is to make this step feel exciting, not stressful.

STEP 5: Inspections, Appraisal & Escrow

Once we’re in contract, I coordinate every detail—inspections, timelines, and communication with all parties—to keep things moving. You’ll understand what each report means and what your options are. I make sure you’re protected, informed, and supported at every turn.

STEP 6: Closing & Moving Day Support 

As closing approaches, I stay on top of final documents, walkthroughs, and deadlines so you can focus on preparing for your move. I make the last week feel smooth, not chaotic. And even after you get the keys, I’m here as your long-term resource for anything home-related.
