Consultation
We can do a consultation before you get pre-approved or after. But the consultation is crucial to find out exactly what you're looking for. At this 30-45 min meeting well talk about all the important features you want in a home. I’ll also go through the whole home buying process that way you know what to expect and can be prepared. Of course, we do not expect you to remember anything from the meeting since it is a ton of information, it’s really just for you to get an idea of how the transaction will go. We will be there to help you through the whole thing and will still let you know of every step as we go, so you won’t have to worry about anything.

House Showings
Once you have your pre-approval letter we can start seeing properties. During this process we will see homes in the areas you're interested in that fit your criteria. We can see houses from 8:00am-7:00pm. You’ll notice as we see houses you will start to like some floor plans more than others, and some features will start to stand out. We take note of the items you like and focus on them to help you find the perfect home.
You will never feel any pressure working with us, we want you to feel like you’re working with a friend, someone who genuinely is there to help you make a good decision. We don’t care if you see 5 houses or 100. Or if you take 1 month or 2 years to find a home. We want you to enjoy the process, and take your time making the right decision, we will always be next to you to answer any questions regarding the process or anything you are concerned about.
