How it works

From first conversation to keys in hand

Buying with us, end to end. The same process every client gets, step by step.

  1. 01
    20 minutes

    A first conversation

    We meet, usually a phone call or coffee. No paperwork yet. We ask about budget, timeline, the areas you're curious about, and the parts of your life we'll be working around.

    You leave with an overview of what the next 60–90 days look like, plus a referral to a lender we trust if you need one.

  2. 02
    1–3 days

    Pre-approval & search setup

    You get pre-approved (we'll introduce you to a lender if needed). We set up a custom search and only send homes that match your real list, not Zillow's algorithm.

    Every morning, Becky combs the MLS for what's new: fresh listings, price drops, and anything that just came back on the market. You see it when she does.

  3. 03
    Ongoing

    Tours, in person

    We walk the property with you. We point out the things photos miss (roof age, school zone lines, disclosures).

    Most buyers tour 6–10 homes before they find the one. Some buy the first; some take six months. Either is fine.

  4. 04
    1–3 days

    Offer & negotiate

    We pull real comparable sales, write the offer with you, and negotiate every line — price, contingencies, closing date, seller credits, etc.

    Multiple-offer situations? We've handled them. Sometimes the winning move is the second-highest bid with the cleanest terms.

  5. 05
    10–14 days

    Inspection & due diligence

    We schedule the inspection, walk it with you, and translate the report into what actually matters. Roof, plumbing, electrical, AC, foundation, and what's cosmetic.

    We then re-negotiate based on what we find: repairs, credits, or walking away.

  6. 06
    30–45 days from offer

    Closing day

    We're at the table, signing alongside you. We do a final walk-through that morning so there are no surprises.

    You leave with the keys. Closing isn't goodbye; reach out anytime you need a referral or have a question.
