Buying a Home

Home. It's the most important purchase you'll ever make. As an experienced agent, I understand the difference between buying a house and finding your home. Let me show you how to make the process smooth and trouble-free.

The Home Buying Process

Before You Buy

Preparation is key when purchasing a property. From down payments and mortgage prequalification to understanding the type of home that will meet your needs and satisfy your wants, I can make sure your financial ducks are in a row and your expectations are grounded in reality when preparing to buy.

The Search

Selecting your perfect home will require research, expert guidance and knowledge of the local market, and you'll need to consider what it is you're looking for. I can help you find the place that fits your taste, your budget, and your lifestyle. I'm a home hunter's best friend.

Making the Purchase

So, you've found the perfect home that meets all your criteria, from a great location to just the right square footage. As your trusted agent, I will guide you through the logistical — and emotional — challenges of the purchase process, to ensure you are in a solid position before you sign on the dotted line.

Wherever your dreams take you, use the Move Meter^® to help you get there. Compare locations based on living affordability, average home prices and other important factors. Try it out with whatever city you dream of moving to.

POWER OF A PRE-APPROVAL

The first step in any home search is finding out exactly how much home you can afford and securing the financing to make the purchase. While you can get rough estimates through pre-qualifications, taking the extra step to obtain a pre-approval will give you some added advantages.

Pre-Approval helps you:

Understanding your financial situation
Know exactly how much home you can afford before you begin your home search
Strengthen your purchasing power when making an offer

When you find a home you love and are ready to make an offer, your mortgage pre-approval lets the seller know you're serious and is required at the time of submitting your offer.
