My Buyer Plan

Buying a new home is exciting and daunting at the same time. In concept, the process is relatively easy. Find a home, make an offer, and go to escrow. In reality, buying a home involves contract contingencies, home inspections, addendums, reports, disclosures, comparative market analysis, financing and numerous forms that many first time home buyers and some seasoned buyers find confusing and overwhelming. 

As a certified first time buyer specialist, I will help first time buyers and seasoned buyers break down the complexity of the process and explain the forms and requirements needed during each phase. I will simplify the buying process to fit your needs depending on whether you are buying your first home, your next home or an investment property.  

Contrary to what most people think and do, the first step of buying a home is meeting with a lender and not going to open houses. The main reasons to get pre-qualified first are to know what you can afford to pay for a house, your monthly payments and amount of money you will need. The next step is still not property shopping. First we need to define your priorities and be realistic with your needs and wants because it is possible we may not find everything within your price range. Once you know exactly want you can afford and have defined your "must haves", I will search the MLS, contact listing agents and preview homes that fit your search criteria and narrow down the selections for you to offer the most relevant properties for showing. Then, after you find a property that is a good fit, I will write the offer and help you negotiate the price. If everything goes as planned, I will open escrow and help address and quickly resolve any problems that may arise during escrow such as home inspection, transfer disclosures and financing. I will work with you every step of the way to explain what to expect from the day you start looking until the day you receive your keys.
