Buyer Agency

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial and personal decisions you’ll ever make — and the good news is, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking for your next home here’s a simple roadmap to get started:

1. Connect With a Real Estate agent (That's me!)
Your first step should be finding a trusted professional who knows the market and can guide you through every stage. I’m here to answer questions, explain the process, and be your advocate from day one.

2. Get Pre-Approved
Talking to a lender early gives you a clear picture of your budget. Pre-approval shows sellers you’re serious and helps us focus only on homes you can confidently afford.

3. Define Your Goals
Think about what matters most: location, size, style, schools, commute, lifestyle. Make a “must-have” list and a “nice-to-have” list so we can target the best options together. Or ask me for my detailed questionnaire.

4. Start the Home Search
This is the fun part! We’ll tour neighborhoods and homes, compare options, and I’ll keep you updated on new listings as soon as they hit the market.

5. Make a Smart Offer
When you find “the one,” I’ll run a market analysis and help craft a strong offer. Strategy matters — sometimes terms are just as important as price.

6. Inspections, Appraisal & Closing
Once your offer is accepted, we’ll handle inspections, negotiate repairs if needed, and work with your lender to get to closing smoothly.

7. Move In & Celebrate 🎉
This is your big moment! And remember — I’ll still be here after the keys are in your hand, whether you need local recommendations or a little help from HandyMeg for home projects.
