Buying a Home

I bought my first home in Minnesota recently enough to remember exactly how overwhelming it feels. Here's the process we'll walk through together — and where I earn my keep.

1. 01

   Get pre-approved

   Know your real budget before you fall in love with a house. I can connect you with trusted local lenders.

2. 02

   Define the search

   Neighborhoods, commute, schools, association rules — we narrow it down so you only tour homes worth your time.

3. 03

   Tour & evaluate

   I point out what the listing photos don’t show: mechanicals, moisture, layout compromises, resale risk.

4. 04

   Write a winning offer

   Price, contingencies, and timelines structured to compete — without giving away protections you’ll regret.

5. 05

   Inspection & negotiation

   When issues surface, we negotiate repairs or credits with data, not emotion.

6. 06

   Close with confidence

   I track every deadline through closing day so nothing slips. Then you get the keys.
