Finding Your Dream Home 

Helping you step by step in one of your most important purchases

 

This is about more than real estate – it‘s about your life and your dreams. I work with each of my clients individually, taking the time to understand their unique needs and lifestyle, and I want to do the same for you. It’s incredibly fulfilling to know I am helping my clients open a new chapter of their lives. That’s why I work so hard to not only find that perfect home, but also to handle every last detail of the purchase process, from negotiating the terms of sale to recommending moving companies.

I have outlined the purchase process into five steps. In our consultation meeting, we will look at each of these steps in greater detail:

Step 1

Your Home Wish List (Lifestyle, location, price range, type of home)

 

STEP 2

Funding Your Home Purchase (Cash purchase, pre-approval, mortgage and loan process )

STEP 3

Search and Select Properties (Market Launch and show property to buyers)

 

STEP 4

Making an Offer and Negotiate (Negotiate the purchase terms and open Escrow)

 

STEP 5

Closing (Your offer is accepted and now the countdown to ownership begins. Congratulations!)

FAQs

The absolute first step is to determine if you are buying with cash or need a loan. If it's the latter, you'd need to get approved for a mortgage.

I can help and guide you to some reputable mortgage corporations and advisors that I trust.
It depends on one’s funds and ability to find temporary housing. If you need more equity to purchase a new home or meet a mortgage plan, then it is best to sell one’s current home before purchasing next one. That being said, you can also explore temporary housing at a friend or relatives, or by arranging a short-term rental elsewhere.

Homeowners trying to sell their home without agent representation are usually doing so in the hopes of saving the commission. If you see a FSBO and want the advantages of my services, let me contact the owner for you and make an appointment. Most times the homeowner will work with an agent, even though their home is not listed, since the agent is introducing a potential buyer to their property.
