Buying

Michelle understands that the home buying experience can often feel overwhelming and full of uncertainty. She will use her experience, local market knowledge, and valuable industry connections to help guide you smoothly through the process of finding your dream home. Having helped many buyers before, she will begin by asking the right questions and gathering the important details needed to confidently start your journey toward home ownership. Let’s get started!

Now comes the fun part! Michelle will help you create a “wish list” of everything you’re looking for—not only in your new home, but also in the community where you want to live. She will match your must-haves with your budget and use her local knowledge and professional network to help you find a home that truly fits your vision. Shopping for a home is an exciting experience, so take your time and enjoy the process!

You’ve found “the one” and you’re ready to make an offer! Michelle will help you craft a fair, data-driven purchase offer based on a detailed market analysis and assist in preparing the purchase agreements. She will then use strong, strategic negotiation skills to guide you through contingencies and help ensure you are not spending more than necessary. And if one offer doesn’t work out, she will already have a solid game plan ready for the next opportunity.

Once your offer is accepted, you may choose to have the property inspected. If you move forward with this step, Michelle will arrange for an independent, licensed inspector to thoroughly evaluate the home’s condition. Since a home inspection can reveal issues that may not be visible during a standard walk-through, it serves as a valuable negotiating tool and provides important peace of mind when purchasing a property. If any concerns are uncovered, she will work with you to determine the best strategy moving forward. You’re getting close—this is the time to make sure you’re moving toward your new home with confidence, not unexpected surprises.

This stage can sometimes feel complicated, but Michelle will use her experience to help keep the final steps of loan approval from feeling overwhelming. She will regularly monitor the progress of your transaction and keep you informed of any funds that may be required from you along the way. She will also stay in close communication with your lender to help ensure all necessary paperwork is completed as you move toward a smooth and successful closing.
