What to expect

Five steps either way

For buyers

Getting you into the right home

01 Get pre-approved so you know your real budget. I can connect you with local lenders.
02 Tour homes that match your list, in person or on a video call.
03 Write an offer that competes without overpaying.
04 Inspections, appraisal, and loan approval. I track every deadline for you.
05 Close escrow and pick up your keys.
For sellers

Getting your home sold for the most it can get

01 We walk through your home together and set a price from recent sales nearby.
02 You get a short prep list: paint, repairs, and staging, only where it pays off.
03 Photos, drone video, and a listing that goes live on the right day of the week.
04 Showings and open houses. I review every offer with you line by line.
05 We negotiate repairs, close escrow, and hand over the keys.

Good questions

Things people ask me on the first call

Do I have to sell my home before I buy the next one?

Not always. Depending on your equity and your loan, you may be able to buy first, buy with a sale contingency, or use a bridge loan. We’ll look at which one fits.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Usually less than people expect. Some conventional loans start at 3 percent down and FHA loans start at 3.5 percent. A lender can tell you exactly what you qualify for.

How do you get paid when I buy?

We sign a buyer agreement before we tour homes, and it spells out my compensation in plain numbers. In many deals the seller covers some or all of it. I’ll walk you through the options.

How long will it take to sell my house?

It depends on price, condition, and season. Before we list, I’ll show you how long similar homes near you took to sell so you can plan around it.

Want to know what your home is worth?

I’ll put together a free pricing report based on recent sales near you. No obligation to list.
