Finding Your New Home

There are a lot of houses out there. But for most of us, there are only a select few we would like to call home.

If you're reading this, you likely already understand the value of fostering a relationship with a successful full-time Realtor® who keenly understands your market. To hear what past clients have said about our team, please read our testimonials. Or just "Contact Us" - We'd be happy to answer any questions over the phone, an online meeting, or connect in person to determine if our services are a good-fit for your needs. 

Everyone has their own fiscal style, and we can assist you in finding a lender who not only understands your situation but also respects your attitude toward personal finances. We want you to be comfortable in your new home, and that includes being comfortable with the terms of your mortgage.

Once you've determined what you can spend, it's important to focus on properties that fall within your purchasing power. We also find it helpful to prioritize the qualities you're looking for, so you'll know when and where to compromise. Use our Home Search engine to filter homes already on the market or sign up for our email service to receive notification of new properties that meet your specific criteria. 

We'll help you understand the way a property's location, condition, size, and even style affect its value so you can determine whether a property is over or under-priced and help you to determine a successful negotiation strategy. We can also connect you with trusted resources such as home inspectors, structural engineers, drainage experts, architects, and others who can help assess a home's condition an future potential.

Once you've found a home you love, we'll help you write an offer designed to maximize your investment while beating any competitive bids. Successful offers don't just win on price, they negotiate terms of timing, financing, and other contingencies in a way that's appealing to both sides of the table. It's our job to strike the perfect balance and do everything we can to ensure your offer is the winning offer.

She listened to our concerns and ...
