BUYING THAT FEELS SEAMLESS
1. INITIAL CONSULTATION
We start with a conversation about your goals, timeline, budget, lifestyle, and preferred neighborhoods. This is where we define what matters most to you, including location, privacy, schools, architecture, walkability, and long term value.
2. FINANCIAL PREP + PRE APPROVAL
Before touring seriously, get pre approved with a trusted lender or verify proof of funds for a cash purchase. This gives you clarity on your buying power and makes your offer stronger when the right property comes up.
3. PROPERTY SEARCH STRATEGY
Once your criteria are clear, I build a targeted search strategy. This includes active listings, private opportunities, and off market possibilities when available. We focus on finding the right fit, not just what is easiest to see.
4. TOURING HOMES
We tour homes that match your goals and refine your criteria as we go. This part helps sharpen your eye and identify what is truly non negotiable versus what can be improved over time.
5. MARKET ANALYSIS + OFFER STRATEGY
When you find the right property, I prepare a pricing and negotiation strategy based on comparable sales, market activity, property condition, and seller motivation. We decide on price, terms, contingencies, and timing.
6. SUBMITTING THE OFFER
Your offer is submitted with the strongest possible presentation. I communicate directly with the listing side, advocate for your position, and help navigate counters to protect your interests while keeping momentum.
7. OFFER ACCEPTANCE + OPEN ESCROW
Once accepted, escrow is opened and timelines begin. Initial deposit deadlines, disclosures, inspections, loan milestones, and contingency periods are all tracked carefully so everything stays organized.
8. DISCLOSURES + DUE DILIGENCE
You review seller disclosures, reports, HOA documents if applicable, title information, and any other material facts. We identify risks, ask follow up questions, and make sure you understand the full picture before moving forward.
9. INSPECTIONS + PROPERTY REVIEW
We schedule inspections based on the property type and your concerns. Depending on the home, this may include general inspection, roof, sewer, foundation, mold, chimney, pool, or specialist inspections. The goal is informed decision making.
10. NEGOTIATION AFTER INSPECTIONS
If issues come up, we negotiate repairs, credits, or other terms as needed. Every deal is different, so the strategy depends on market conditions, the severity of findings, and your priorities.
11. LOAN PROCESS + APPRAISAL
If financing, your lender moves through underwriting and orders the appraisal. I help keep communication moving between lender, escrow, title, and all parties so deadlines are met and nothing gets missed.
12. CONTINGENCY REMOVAL
Once inspections, disclosures, appraisal, and loan conditions are complete to your satisfaction, contingencies are removed. This is a major milestone and a key step toward closing.
13. FINAL WALK THROUGH
Shortly before closing, we do a final walk through to confirm the property is in the agreed condition and that any negotiated items have been handled.
14. SIGNING + CLOSING
You sign closing documents, funds are delivered, and escrow completes the transfer. Once recording happens, you officially own the home.
15. KEYS + NEXT STEPS
You get the keys and we coordinate any final details, including utilities, move in logistics, vendor referrals, and anything else you need to settle in smoothly.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WORKING WITH ME
Clear communication, strong negotiation, strategic guidance, and hands on support from search to close. Buying a home is a major financial decision, but it should also feel exciting and enjoyable.
A TAILORED SELLING PROCESS
1. INITIAL CONSULTATION
We start with a conversation about your goals, timing, property details, and what a successful sale looks like for you. We discuss your ideal timeline, pricing expectations, and any factors that may affect the sale, including a purchase, move, tenancy, or privacy concerns.
2. PROPERTY REVIEW + POSITIONING
I evaluate the home’s condition, layout, upgrades, location, and overall marketability. From there, we build a positioning strategy based on what will make your property stand out and attract the right buyers.
3. PRICING STRATEGY
We determine a pricing strategy using comparable sales, current competition, recent market activity, and buyer behavior. The goal is to price with intention so we create interest, protect value, and maximize leverage.
4. PRE LISTING PREP PLAN
Before going live, we create a plan for anything that may improve presentation and saleability. This can include paint, repairs, landscaping, staging, cleaning, lighting updates, or small design adjustments that make a meaningful difference.
5. VENDOR COORDINATION
If needed, I help coordinate trusted vendors including painters, stagers, photographers, cleaners, and other professionals. This keeps the process efficient and helps ensure the property is shown at its best.
6. DISCLOSURES + SALE DOCUMENT PREP
We prepare the listing paperwork and required disclosures. Depending on the property, this may also include ordering preliminary title work, natural hazard disclosures, and HOA documents so buyers can review information early.
7. MARKETING STRATEGY + LAUNCH PLAN
We build a custom marketing plan for your property, including photography, video, listing copy, digital exposure, agent outreach, and launch timing. The presentation and rollout are designed to create attention and drive qualified showings.
8. STAGING + MEDIA PRODUCTION
Once the home is ready, we complete staging if applicable and produce the marketing assets. High quality visuals are critical because they shape first impressions and influence who decides to tour.
9. GOING LIVE
The property is launched to the market and promoted across the appropriate channels. I closely monitor early activity, buyer feedback, and showing trends so we can make smart decisions quickly if needed.
10. SHOWINGS + OPEN HOUSES
We coordinate private showings, broker tours, and open houses based on the strategy for your home. I manage buyer communication, gather feedback, and keep you updated on interest and positioning in real time.
11. OFFER REVIEW + NEGOTIATION
When offers come in, I present the terms clearly and help you compare more than just price. We evaluate strength of financing, contingencies, timing, deposit, and overall reliability, then negotiate to secure the best outcome.
12. ACCEPT OFFER + OPEN ESCROW
Once an offer is accepted, escrow is opened and the contract timeline begins. I track deadlines, coordinate with escrow and title, and help keep all parties aligned from acceptance through closing.
13. BUYER DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD
The buyer reviews disclosures, inspections, reports, and any property documents. During this phase, I help manage follow up requests and protect your position while keeping the transaction moving.
14. NEGOTIATIONS DURING ESCROW
If the buyer requests repairs, credits, or other changes, I guide the negotiation strategy based on the facts, the market, and your priorities. The goal is to keep the deal together on terms that make sense.
15. CONTINGENCY REMOVALS
As the buyer completes inspections, financing, appraisal, and document review, contingencies are removed according to the agreed timeline. This is an important milestone as the sale moves toward closing.
16. FINAL WALK THROUGH + CLOSING PREP
Before closing, the buyer completes a final walk through. We make sure the property is in the agreed condition and prepare for final signing, move out timing, and any remaining escrow items.
17. SIGNING + CLOSE OF ESCROW
You sign closing documents, escrow confirms all funds and requirements are complete, and the sale records. Once recording is complete, the transaction is officially closed.
18. POST CLOSING SUPPORT
Even after closing, I remain available to help with next steps, vendor referrals, and anything needed to make your transition smooth.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WORKING WITH ME
Strategic pricing, strong presentation, clear communication, and hands on guidance from prep to closing. Selling a home is a major financial event, and my job is to help you navigate it with confidence while maximizing your result.
