A clear, step-by-step process so you always know what comes next.
My goal as your buyer's agent is to find that special house you love and can call home — the "right" home for you. I'll always provide as much honest information as possible, including the pros and cons, so you can make an educated decision. If there's something I don't know, I'll say so and find out. Your best interest always comes first.
We start with an honest conversation about your budget, must-haves, and timeline, so we can build a search plan that actually fits your life.
Before falling in love with a home, you'll want a clear picture of what you can comfortably afford. I can connect you with trusted local lenders.
I'll help you evaluate properties against your list — not just the listing photos, but the neighborhood, commute, schools, and long-term value.
We'll craft a competitive offer based on comparable sales and current market conditions, and I'll negotiate firmly on your behalf.
Once accepted, we'll coordinate a home inspection and work alongside your attorney to review every detail of the contract.
I'll help track every deadline through appraisal, final loan approval, and your walk-through — until the keys are in your hand.
It depends on your loan type — some programs allow as little as 3-5% down, while conventional loans without PMI typically require 20%. We'll go over your options together based on your financial picture.
Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on self-reported information. Pre-approval involves a lender verifying your financials — it carries far more weight with sellers and strengthens your offer.
From an accepted offer to closing, most transactions take 30-45 days, depending on financing and inspection timelines. I'll keep you informed at every step.
In New Jersey, it's standard practice to have an attorney review your contract. I'm happy to share trusted recommendations if you don't already have one.
