Interested In Buying?

Ready to Find "The One"?  
Let’s talk about your dream digs! Are you into sleek condos, charming townhomes, or a classic single-family vibe? Got a wish list of must-haves (and deal breakers)? No worries if you're still figuring it out—it’s the perfect time to dive into some market research.  

Browse what’s out there, and keep an eye on price shifts. Those little trends can spill big secrets about where the market’s headed, giving you a leg up when it’s offer time. House hunting is more than a search—it’s a strategy. Let’s make your move!  


Budget Check: Stay in Your Comfort Zone
Pro tip: Decide on "your" budget—not just what the lender says you can afford. Lenders might pre-approve you for more than you're cool spending, so it’s key to lock in a monthly payment that feels right for "you".  

Take a hard look at your household budget, and don’t forget the extras that come with homeownership. Moving from an apartment or shared space? Get ready for new expenses like trash, water, or HOA fees that can sneak up on you. Your dream home should feel amazing—without stressing your wallet.  

Reality Check: Can You Get That Loan?
Thinking you can handle a certain payment doesn’t always mean the lender agrees. Sometimes they approve more than feels right—other times, less than you expect. In some cases, past financial hiccups like job changes, credit challenges, or even bankruptcies can throw a wrench in the process.  

Before falling in love with a home, chat with a mortgage pro (I strongly suggest a local lender that you can get on the phone anytime of the day) to nail down what you’re actually prequalified for. Bonus: this makes your offer stronger since many sellers won’t even look twice without that prequalification in hand. Let’s get ahead of the game and set you up for success!

I can steer you clear of potential pitfalls, uncover hidden gems, and help you snag your dream home at the right price. Why go solo when you can have a pro on your side?  
The Fun Part: Finding "The One"
This is where the magic happens—house hunting! (Okay, maybe moving in beats it, but still.) I’ll line up showings for homes that fit your budget and style, so you can focus on exploring.  

No need for a notepad, I've got you... and let's keep it real: what do you love, what’s a hard no? Flip light switches, open doors, run faucets—test-drive the place like it’s already yours. And don’t stop at the front door! Stroll the neighborhood, check out traffic patterns, parking vibes, and how close you are to must-haves like schools, grocery stores, or your favorite coffee shop. Let’s make this step unforgettable!  
Making the Move: Crafting the Perfect Offer
Found "the one"? Time to team up and craft a killer offer! Using my market know-how and data from comparable homes, we’ll put together something fair and strategic. Whether we go under, at, or above the asking price depends on the market vibes—buyer’s or seller’s playground. ​My #1 goal is ​to save you money.

If a counteroffer comes back, don’t stress—I’ll guide the negotiations to help seal the deal. Once we’re all in agreement, your dream home officially heads into escrow. Let’s make it happen!  
Inspections: Your Peace of Mind Step
Most offers come with a key safety net—an inspection! This is your chance to make sure the home doesn’t come with any major surprises, like structural damage or big-ticket repairs. In Colorado, Buyer's are expected to pay for their own inspections. I’ll help you schedule the inspection ASAP, usually within a few days of making your offer and before the earnest money deposit is due. 

If everything checks out, we’re full steam ahead to the next step. If not, no worries—you can renegotiate based on what needs fixing or, if it’s a dealbreaker, walk away with confidence. Either way, you’ve got options, and I’ll guide you through it all!  

Lock It In: Choosing Your Mortgage
It’s time to circle back to your trusted lender and pick the loan that’s right for you. They’ll break down your options—fixed-rate, variable-rate, 15-year, 30-year, or even special programs like VA or FHA loans—tailored to your financial picture.  

Together, we’ll work through the details so you can feel confident choosing the one that fits your budget and long-term goals. This step is all about setting the foundation for your future home sweet home! 
The Appraisal: Double-Checking the Value
Before sealing the deal, your lender will arrange an appraisal to confirm the home’s value. This step ensures everyone’s on the same page and paying a fair price for the property. It’s all about keeping things balanced and transparent—just like it should be!  
No one looks forward to all the paperwork in buying a home, but it’s a necessary part of the process. Fortunately, everything will be arranged by your lender and title company, and when you’re finished, you’ll know you are the legal owner of your new home.
After signing the final paperwork to complete the purchase, you are now the owner of a new house. It may take a few days for your loan to be funded once the paperwork has been returned to the lender, but once that check is delivered to the seller, you’ll be all set to move into the home of your dreams.
