Buying a home can be scary and stressful, BUT it can also be fun, exciting, and mostly seamless if you have the right agent. Let’s take the stress from one essential piece of the process – What does the general home buying process timeline look like?

1st Meeting

The first meeting will serve as a consultation, where:
 
  1. You get to ask as many questions as you would like.
  2. We will go over your wants & needs.
  3. We will get the chance to get to know each other.

Home Shopping

Once you get pre-approved for a mortgage, we will begin shopping for your new home! Aside from setting up an automatic search, we will also scan the market daily for new listings.

Make an Offer

Once you find a home you love, we will sit down and:
 
  1. Analyze comparable listings together.
  2. You will decide the offer price & contingencies
  3. Write the offer up and send it.

Inspections & Appraisals

If the seller accepts your offer you will likely have a few days to do your home inspection & appraisal before the offer firms up if you included these contingencies in the offer.
