The Home Buying Process
Before You Buy
Preparation is key when purchasing a property. From down payments and mortgage prequalification to understanding the type of home that will meet your needs and satisfy your wants, I can make sure your financial ducks are in a row and your expectations are grounded in reality when preparing to buy.
The Search
Selecting your perfect home will require research, expert guidance and knowledge of the local market, and you'll need to consider what it is you're looking for. I can help you find the place that fits your taste, your budget, and your lifestyle. I'm a home hunter's best friend.
Making the Purchase
So, you've found the perfect home that meets all your criteria, from a great location to just the right square footage. As your trusted agent, I will guide you through the logistical — and emotional — challenges of the purchase process, to ensure you are in a solid position before you sign on the dotted line.

Get an Instant Estimate on Your Home*
Learn your home’s value so you can tackle the real estate market with confidence.
*This is an estimate only and is not an appraisal. The CB Estimate℠ provides an estimated market value of your home generated by a proprietary algorithm using aggregated data collected from third parties and public records and is intended to provide you with a general value of the property. The actual appraised value of any property may be higher or lower than the estimated market value provided by the CB Estimate℠.
The Move MeterSM lets you compare locations based on living affordability, average home prices and other important factors.
Exclusive Look
This exclusive network marketing platform allows me to share listings within the Coldwell Banker® network in three ways: Brokerage Exclusives, Sneak Peeks and Wants & Needs.
Brokerage Exclusives
Enables me to exclusively share listings within my brokerage for a specific period of time with your consent. With Brokerage Exclusives you can receive pre-market exposure for your listing with an extended network of in-house Coldwell Banker agents prior to the MLS or public marketing.
Sneak Peeks
Allows me to share Sneak Peek listings with participating Coldwell Banker agents across the country for one business day before the listing is submitted to the MLS and publicly marketed, allowing advanced marketing to a powerful network of agents that are actively waiting for new listings.
Wants & Needs
Allows me to promote buyers’ wants and needs within our national network to participating agents across the country, bringing more potential buyers to your home.
