🏡 Ready to Buy a Home? Here's What to Expect – Step by Step

The home buying journey is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect. That’s why I walk every client through these four key phases to keep things clear, calm, and on track.

🔑 PHASE 1: PREPARATION

This is where the foundation gets set. We’ll:

• Meet to clarify your goals, budget, and timeline
• Review the buying process and current market conditions
• Sign the buyer agency agreement and required disclosures
• Get pre-approved with a lender or provide proof of funds if paying cash

🏘️ PHASE 2: HOME SEARCH

Here’s where things get fun:

• Build a home search strategy tailored to your needs
• Review on-market and off-market inventory
• Set up MLS alerts so you’re first to know about new listings
• Tour homes and explore your options
• And yes… fall in love with the one 💙

📝 PHASE 3: MAKING OFFERS

Once you’ve found a home you love:

• We evaluate market value and develop a winning offer strategy
• Draft and present the Colorado purchase contract
• Negotiate terms with the seller
• And when it’s accepted—you’re officially under contract!

🏁 PHASE 4: ESCROW & CLOSING

Now we focus on due diligence:

• Deposit earnest money and begin inspections
• Negotiate repairs or concessions
• Review the appraisal and finalize your loan
• Do a final walkthrough to make sure everything’s in order
• Then… sign the papers and get the keys to your new home! 🔑🎉

Whether you’re thinking about buying this year or just exploring the idea, let’s talk. I’d love to guide you through every step.
