I will help you, making sure you feel confident during every step of the process.

 

  • Buying a home usually represents your single biggest investment.  The home buying process is one of the most exciting, and frequently stressful, experiences you’ll ever go through. I'm here to help!


  • Contact a real estate professional. Buying real estate is a complex matter with many factors to consider since no two homes or transactions are alike. Even if it's not me, contact a licensed real estate expert.


  • Get pre-approved for a loan.  I recommend that you get pre-approved for a loan before you start viewing homes with the serious intention of buying. 


  • The benefits of pre-approval include...  Knowing what you are eligible to receive and be able to plan accordingly
. As a qualified, motivated buyer you’ll be taken more seriously when you make an offer Lenders can tell you if you qualify for special programs that will help you afford a better home (particularly if you’re a first-time buyer).


  • View homes and select THE ONE. The key to the home search process is knowing what you’re looking for.


  • Make an offer and negotiate with the seller. Once you’ve found the home you’d like to buy, it’s time to make an offer.


  • Secure your financing. It’s crucial for you to work with people you trust. In this regard, a good real estate professional can become a true friend for life.

Selling Your Home

Buying Your Dream Home

Selling Your Home

 It’s important to know what to expect. 


  • Find a stellar real estate agent. You need the right agent. Find someone who will super-serve you, negotiate the best deal, and sell your house.


  • Can I sell my house myself? You need to get it in front of buyers—and lots of them. This is where an agent comes in handy.


  • A knowledgeable real estate agent will give your home a much-needed online presence through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).


  • Price your home to sell. You need to think objectively about your home’s value. 


  • Declutter: Decide what you can live without until your home sells. Then pack it up and get it out!


  • Hire a home inspector: Identifying issues early in the home-sellling process lets you work the cost of repairs into your budget on the front end so they don’t wreck your deal later.


  • Tackle repairs: Ask your agent where your fix-it dollars will do the most good.


  • Set the stage: Create an inviting space that lets buyers see your house as their home.


  • Apply finishing touches: Get your home picture-perfect so your photographer can capture it in the best possible condition.


  • Stage your house and get it ready for potential buyers. Once your home is in good working order, it’s time to set the stage and show off its best features.


  • Clear the counters. Pitch those personal items in a drawer to keep them out-of-sight.


  • List your home and have lots of showings.


  • Negotiate the contract and close.
