Six steps from first call to keys.
Your plan
A first conversation about neighborhoods, must-haves, timing and the price range you're comfortable with.
Home search
We narrow down neighborhoods, tour homes and look closely at the ones worth a second visit.
Offer
Price, terms and timing written to compete, backed by recent comparable sales.
Inspection & appraisal
We review the findings together and negotiate repairs or credits where it makes sense.
Contract to closing
Contract, title and every deadline tracked, while I keep the attorneys and the other side on schedule.
Closing day
Final walk-through, signatures, and the keys. Then we celebrate.
