Let’s Find Your Home
Every buyer is different, and it is my job to help you determine exactly what kind of home you’re looking for based on your needs, your budget, and your lifestyle.
How I Will Identify Your Dream Home
Once we determine the kind of home you are looking for, I have various tools and strategies to stay on top of what is available in the marketplace so you don’t miss out on your dream home.
Open Houses
Attending open houses is an effective strategy to help you determine what kind of home you’re looking for. I’d be happy to accompany you to offer housing and market expertise. I’ll also provide you with some of my business cards which you can provide to the listing agent when attending open houses on your own so they can keep me apprised of any changes you, as the potential buyer, need to know.
Community & Lifestyle Information
I will provide the most recent information on lifestyle factors such as schools, places of worship, retail, public transportation and more to ensure your home is located in an area that suits your needs.
How Much Home Can You Afford?
My team of industry professionals and I can help you determine your buying power.
Comparable Recent Solds
On-demand access to MLS data and metrics provide me with the necessary information I need to quickly show you what comparable properties are selling for in your desired area.
Communication
Communication is key throughout the buying process and I will keep you informed every step of the way, in whichever way you prefer. I am always just a call, click, or text away.
Trusted Advisor
When you’ve found your home and you’re ready to submit an offer, I serve as your Trusted Advisor, helping you navigate what can be a complicated process.
