Decide to Buy

Choosing the agent that's best for your needs is crucial to ensuring that you find the home that is perfect for you. A home is much more than four walls and a roof, so whether you're a first time home buyer or a savvy investor, I'm confident that my team and I can help you find your place in the world.

Start the Process

It's important to understand your "purchase power." Speaking with a lender will help you determine how much you are able to spend on a home while still maintaining a healthy financial situation. Be prepared to discuss topics such as credit score, financial documents, your debt-to-income ratio and down payment requirements. Feel free to reach out to our preferred lender recommendations.

Begin Your Home Search

Now that we have a goal price-range in mind, we will collaborate and discuss your wants and needs to create a custom home search. Once criteria has been defined, my team and I will create a personalized list of homes to view. This part of the process involves exploring neighborhoods, touring properties, locating your ideal home and crafting that winning offer.
