Buying a home

A clear plan from the first conversation to the keys, so you always know what comes next.

  1. Talk it through

    We go over what you want, your budget and your timing. Before we tour homes, we sign a short written buyer agreement that spells out how I'm paid, as required since 2024.

  2. Get pre-approved

    A lender's pre-approval shows sellers you're ready and tells you what you can comfortably spend. Paying cash? We'll line up proof of funds instead.

  3. Find the right home

    I send you homes that fit, set up showings, and share what I notice on each visit.

  4. Make a strong offer

    I pull recent sales nearby so your offer is grounded in real numbers, then negotiate the price and terms with you.

  5. Inspections and due diligence

    Inspections, insurance quotes and, for condos or HOA homes, the association's documents, all inside the contract's deadlines.

  6. Close

    I keep the lender, title company and everyone else on schedule through the final walk-through and closing.

Florida tips worth knowing early

Insurance first. Get homeowners and flood insurance quotes as soon as you're under contract. They can change what a home really costs each month.

Condos and HOAs. Read the association's budget, reserves and any recent inspection reports before your review period ends.

Wire fraud. Never wire money based on an email alone. Call your title company at a number you already know to confirm instructions.
