HOME BUYING
Process
1. Let's Define What Home Looks Like to You
Buying a home is personal. It’s not just about square footage or style, it’s about how you want to live. In our first conversation, we’ll talk through what matters most to you... your lifestyle, your must-haves, and the little things that make a place feel like home. Whether you're picturing a home with room for everyone to spread out, a quiet place in a peaceful neighborhood, or something that checks all the boxes for your next chapter, I’ll help you get clear on what fits and focus on the right options.
2. Getting Financially Ready
Before we go house hunting, it’s important to have your financing lined up. I can connect you with lenders I trust who will walk you through the preapproval process or help you get your proof of funds ready. This step gives you confidence, helps us move fast when the right home pops up, and makes your offer stronger from the start.
3. Finding the Right Fit
Finding a home isn’t just about the house itself. It’s also about the neighborhood, the vibe, and how it all fits into your everyday life. We’ll talk about the communities that align with your goals, whether that’s a quiet golf neighborhood, something close to the action, or a spot with plenty of room to stretch out. I know the area inside and out and can help you explore both on-market and off-market options to find the perfect match.
