The process begins with a brief consultation. For buyers, obtaining pre-approval is an essential first step. Sellers typically start with a property evaluation and the development of a pricing strategy.

While not mandatory, pre-approval is highly advised. It not only strengthens your position when making an offer but also ensures that we focus our search on properties within your financial reach.

The timeline for viewing homes varies. Unoccupied properties are often available for same-day or next-day showings. For occupied homes, we typically need to provide 24 to 48 hours' notice to the current residents.

In most real estate transactions, the seller offers compensation to the buyer's agent. This information is disclosed to all parties before an offer is submitted.

Once a contract is in place, most transactions close within 30 to 45 days. However, the overall timeline can vary depending on current market conditions and the readiness of all parties involved.

A home's value is determined through analysis of recent comparable sales, evaluation of current market conditions, and assessment of the property's condition and location.

Buyers should anticipate closing costs of approximately 2-3% of the purchase price. Sellers typically cover agent commissions, escrow and title fees, and may incur costs for necessary repairs.

Contract cancellation is possible during specific contingency periods, as outlined in the agreement. We thoroughly explain all timelines and rights before you sign any documents.

We maintain regular communication via text, phone, or email, providing updates and ensuring you're always informed about the next steps in the process.
