The Home Buying Process

My Role

First, I will explain how the application and approval process works. I will not refer you to a video; I will personally explain this to you. I will answer your questions before starting an application.

Second, I need to get you pre-approved, meaning that after reviewing your income, assets, and credit, and determine your budget.

Third, I make sure this qualification is airtight by collecting income and asset documentation BEFORE you start looking at houses. Many lenders advertise the ease of their application process. Trust me – the less intrusive the process feels up front, the less valuable the pre-approval is to you.

Fourth, I will explain your options and make recommendations for your best mortgage option based on your personal financial goals.

Fifth, I will help you get under contract with a seller by providing a property-specific pre-approval letter for each of your offers.

Sixth, my team and I will take you across the finish line to ensure you get the keys to your home!
