Making an Offer

This is where I get my hands dirty. I work to find you the BEST deal on a home that you love. Leave the nasty negotiations, paperwork, and headache to me.

Earnest Money

Your "down payment" to your down payment. It shows the seller you're really interested in the home. Typically 1-5% of your down payment (The best part, it goes towards your down payment).

Inspections

Here is your safety net. Is the house going to fall apart? Did you get cold feet because of the flooring problems? Now's your chance to be certain you're ready to take on the new digs.

Loan/Bank Approval

You will work diligently with your loan officer to show them you're good for the money! Your bank will check to make sure YOU'RE getting the right deal, while making sure their investment is protected.

Pre-Closing Activities

A closer will reach out to set up and finalize all the numbers and paperwork. They'll make sure you have insurance, and anything else you need to move in. 1-2 days before closing, you get to make sure the house is still there with a final walk-through.

Closing

Your wrist will get tired of signing so many documents, but believe it or not, this is the fun part! Grab the new keys and make your new home your own!
