10 Steps to Buying a Home


1. Find the Right Realtor®

As your trusted Realtor®, I’ll guide you through one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

2. Get Pre-Approved with a Lender

I can connect you with a trusted mortgage broker who offers competitive rates and clear guidance. This step helps determine how much you can afford, factoring in insurance, taxes, and other costs—crucial before you start house hunting.

3. Create Your Home Wish List

Define your must-haves and nice-to-haves. Think beyond finishes—consider location, layout, and lifestyle needs. I’ll help you prioritize what truly matters.

4. Start Your Home Search

The fun begins! I’ll arrange showings and help you evaluate each home. Take notes and picture yourself living there to narrow down your top choices.

5. Make a Strong Offer

I’ll craft a competitive offer, including deposit money, key contingencies (home inspection, financing, etc.), and negotiation strategies to increase your chances of success.

6. Secure Final Mortgage Approval

Once your offer is accepted, your lender will finalize your loan. Be ready for closing costs, and avoid big purchases that could impact your credit.

7. Conduct Due Diligence

Schedule a home inspection to check for any hidden issues. If needed, we’ll negotiate repairs or credits before closing.

8. Prepare for Closing

At closing, the deed transfers from seller to buyer. You’ll sign final paperwork, make any required payments, and officially become a homeowner!

9. Get Your Keys & Move In!

Celebrate your new home! I’ll be there to support you even after closing, providing resources for movers, contractors, and anything else you need.

10. Stay Connected

Whether it’s homeownership advice, market updates, or your next real estate move—I’m always here for you!
