HOW WE DO IT

Our 8 Step Buying Process

Beginning your home search can be an overwhelming and daunting task. Because of that, our team makes sure that you, and all other potential buyers, understand each of the 8 steps that we take to make the process as easy and painless as possible. By the end of your search, with our support and guidance, you will live happily ever after in your new, dream home.

Meet in person and create a wishlist

Let’s get to know each other! Once you’re ready to work with our team, we’ll meet together for a Buyer Consultation to focus your search and determine what you want and need in a home.

Pre-qualification

We’ll introduce you to our mortgage partner, who can help you determine your buying price range with confidence. Be prepared to dig into paperwork during this part of the process such as pay stubs, W2’s, and tax returns. The lender will do a full review and then tell you what you will be able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital step in the home buying process!

Listing alerts sent to you based on your criteria

Our agents get to know you — Need to move for a job? Want a shorter commute? Getting married? Having a baby? Need to upgrade or downsize? At this stage in the process, we’ll send you notifications about the listings that you’re most likely to be excited about. Be sure to let us know if one (or more) jumps out at you so that we can skip to the next step and schedule a viewing. We will be there for you every step of the way.

Schedule viewings and attend open houses

Here’s where the buying process gets really fun! We’ll go to local open houses together and schedule viewings of the homes that you’ve loved from our listing alerts. We’ll talk about how the budget will work and make sure that we find you the perfect home.

Find the perfect home and write an offer

When you’re ready to make an offer, your agent will present a written offer to the seller. And while everyone loves getting their offer accepted right away, the seller could come back to us with a counter offer, or reject your initial offer altogether. We’re happy to walk you through each of these possibilities and exactly how to handle them. Once the offer is accepted, it’s time to get your financing in order and move forward to the next step!

Acceptance, appraisal and inspection

The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the property matches the condition of the property while the inspection makes sure that everything in the home is functioning properly and there are no major issues inside. These are the last steps before the shiny keys to your home are placed in your hand... for good!

Time to close and get the keys

Get excited because it’s time to close on your home! This process includes going through all of the final paperwork and signing your name (a lot!). Don't forget to bring all of the paperwork you’ve collected along the way and your down payment.

Celebrate! 🥂

I want to thank Daniele Girken for her determination and dedication to finding us a home that we love! She was great every step of the way. If you want a realtor that's there for you. You HAVE TO work with Daniele! The real estate market wasn t exactly the best during 2020 but we persevered. Daniele got excited right along with us every time that we thought we had found a home. She also was disappointed along with us when one wouldn t work out but she stayed chipper the whole way through and encouraged us to keep looking. We are so glad that we did! Daniele is honestly the sweetest person ever and it never felt like a business transaction at all. We got to know Daniele through our house hunting experience and couldn t have had a better realtor! For our first time house hunting I don't really know what we were expecting but she was very knowledgeable and helped guide us towards the perfect first home. When and if we grow out of this home I m sure we ll be reaching out to Daniele again!- Justin & Katie

I highly recommend Michael to help find your perfect home or sell your current home. He was very flexible with his schedule and was very easy to work with. To top it off, he sold our home in a fast three weeks! - Gail N.

Couldn't ask for a better Realtor. Jon kept us informed every step of the way. The process of buying our home went so smoothly, all compliments of Jon's hard work. Top notch professional!!

When we first met Cindi, we were just beginning the hunt for a new home. The only thing we knew was what we needed in our new home, and our needs were very specific due to my husband s declining health issues. Cindi made us feel like we were her only clients as she patiently showed us many houses. She also worked tirelessly behind the scenes helping to sell our old house. There were many bumps in the road and Cindi continued to reassure us with a smile. I highly recommend Cindi and her team to help you with your new home search. -Wendy Sharp

John is knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him. - Jenise & Timothy S.

It s easy to describe Russ in two words: the best! He is a wonderful, caring person who is a real joy to work with. Russ operates with honesty and integrity first and foremost. You can trust him to look out for your best interests in a real estate transaction. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process, doing many things for us that made the home buying process amazingly smooth and easy. Words can t describe how much we appreciate Russ! Highly recommended, he s the best agent you could ever ask for! - Clint E.
