Preapproval is most peoples first step. With a preapproval, not only do you have a more clear idea of a budget, but sellers will also take you more seriously. Another step is to find the right agent for you! They can help you find a home that checks all your boxes.

While looking for a home on your own or selling your house "for sale by owner" can seem tempting, there are SO many reasons to use an agent. When buying a home: - We can help find you a home, even if it hasn't hit the market yet using their access to the private listings network. - When you do find your dream home, we help you negotiate and tell you ways to make your offer stronger to ensure that you get your dream home and the best possible price! - We have a wide variety of contacts. We can get you in touch with respected attorneys, inspectors, lenders, etc. When Selling your home: - We can help price your home to get you top dollar! - We have a large network to help get as many people possible through that door. - We can get your home on the MLS which only agents have access to. - We have selling expertise!

No! If you aren't preapproved that's okay! I can get you in contact with some trusted lenders who can help you get started!

First impressions matter! Make sure the outside of your home is well manicured: Lawn mowed, bushes trimmed, snow shoveled etc. On the inside, make sure to declutter as much as possible. Some people cant see past clutter and possible rule the house out because of it. Another simple way to prepare is with some fresh paint!
