How I work
My process
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling, investing, or building new — I follow a clear sequence so you know what’s next and why. No surprises.
Buying (first-time or move-up)
- Clarity call. We talk budget, timeline, areas, and must-haves. I’ll suggest running the affordability calculator and maybe the neighborhood quiz if you’re still narrowing.
- Pre-approval. You get pre-approved with a lender. I can suggest a few; you choose.
- Search. I set up MLS alerts and send you a short list. We schedule showings and refine as we go.
- Offer. We look at comps and market and write an offer. I’ll explain every term and contingency.
- Under contract. Inspection, appraisal, repair negotiations if needed. I’ll keep you on schedule and answer every question.
- Closing. Final walk-through, signing, keys. I’m there.
Selling
- Consultation. We walk your home (or I review photos and data). I’ll pull comps and give you a range and a plan: what to fix, what to leave, when to list.
- Prep & list. Photos, listing copy, MLS, marketing. We agree on list price and strategy.
- Offers. We review every offer together. I’ll break down terms, net, and risk so you can decide clearly.
- Under contract. Inspections, appraisal, repair requests. I’ll handle the back-and-forth and keep you updated.
- Closing. Final numbers, signing, handoff. Done.
Investing
Same search-and-offer flow as buying, but we start with your criteria: price range, area, rent targets, and whether you’re doing rehabs or buy-and-hold. I’ll help you run numbers and avoid emotional buys. We’ll use the deal analyzer and local rent comps so you know what you’re getting into.
New construction
We’ll identify builders and communities that fit your budget and location. I’ll go with you to the design center, review contracts, and recommend inspectors at pre-drywall and final walk-through. My job is to make sure you don’t overpay for upgrades and you’re protected in the contract.
