Proactively Guiding You Through Every Step

I offer a tailored home-buying experience with expert guidance, real-time market data, skillful negotiation, and clear support to secure your ideal property at the right price. I’ll help evaluate properties, navigate disclosures, manage legalities, and craft competitive offers to avoid costly mistakes, with ongoing vendor recommendations and support for a stress-free homeownership journey.

Your Path To Homeownership:

  • In our first meeting, I’ll walk you through the home-buying process and share insights on current market conditions. I’ll listen carefully to your needs and preferences to create a personalized search plan tailored just for you.

  • To make a strong offer, getting pre-approved for a home mortgage loan is key. I’ll connect you with trusted local mortgage lenders who specialize in various loan types to help you achieve your goals.

  • Once we’ve had our consultation and you’re pre-approved, I’ll start searching for homes that match your criteria. My listing alert system will keep you updated on available properties, and I’ll actively seek out off-market and coming-soon listings to find the perfect fit.

  • When you find the right home, I’ll help you craft a competitive offer by analyzing comparable sales, reviewing pre-offer disclosures, and developing a strategic approach. I’ll guide you through negotiations to protect your interests and secure the best terms.

  • Once your offer is accepted, I’ll manage the contract phase and escrow process, coordinating inspections, reports, and communication to ensure everything runs smoothly. I’ll provide a personalized timeline to keep you informed every step of the way.

  • On closing day, the title transfer is finalized, and you’ll receive the keys to your new home. My support continues beyond escrow—I’ll provide a curated list of trusted vendors to assist with your move and transition, ensuring a seamless experience.

Frequently asked questions

  • If you are serious about a particular property, your agent can request a disclosure package from the listing agent. These disclosures are your opportunity to review general information regarding the property prior to writing an offer.

    Both the seller and listing agent are required to disclose all material facts they know about the property so you are aware of anything that might affect your decision to buy the home.

  • The timeframe for a response from a seller will be a part of the offer. It is customary to allow at least 24 hours, and as long as 72 hours for a response.

  • It is important to understand the motivation and goals of the seller. Every offer is unique and offers different benefits depending on how price and terms are structured.

  • A seller has four choices when responding to purchase offers:

    • ACCEPT as written. The seller is “in contract” to sell the property.

    • REJECT the offer.

    • COUNTER an offer with a revised purchase price, length of escrow, contingency period or other terms. Once they receive a counter-offer back from a buyer, you can then accept, reject, or counter the counter. This can go on until both parties come to an agreement.

    • OFFER a back-up position behind an accepted offer.

  • In a multiple offer situation, the seller has the option to simultaneously counter more than one offer for better price/terms with a single form “Seller Multiple Counter Offer,” reserving the right to proceed with only one of the agreements, presenting the best terms.
