In most home purchases, the buyer’s agent is compensated through the seller’s side of the transaction, meaning there is typically no direct cost to you as the buyer. However, every situation can be different. I’ll walk you through how commissions work and explain any potential fees upfront so there are no surprises. My goal is to make sure you fully understand the process and feel confident in every decision.

You can purchase a home without an agent, but having professional guidance makes the process much easier and far less stressful. As your agent, I help you understand the market, analyze properties, schedule showings, negotiate terms, and navigate every step from offer to closing. My role is to protect your interests and make sure you have the clarity and support you need to confidently move forward.

Making a strong offer starts with understanding the local market and knowing what matters most to the seller. I’ll help you analyze recent sales, review the home’s value, and structure an offer that positions you as a serious and well-qualified buyer. With strategic guidance and skilled negotiation, I’ll work with you to craft an offer that gives you the best chance of securing the home you want.

Yes — getting pre-approved before you begin looking at homes is one of the most important first steps. It helps you understand your budget, shows sellers you’re a serious buyer, and gives you a major advantage when you’re ready to make an offer. I can connect you with trusted lenders and walk you through the pre-approval process so you feel confident and prepared as you begin your search.

Your down payment amount can vary based on your price range, loan type, and financial situation. While many buyers aim for 20%, there are loan programs that allow for much lower down payments—some as low as 3.5% or even zero down in certain cases. I can help you explore your options, understand what fits your budget, and connect you with trusted mortgage professionals who can guide you toward the right financing plan for your needs.

The timeline can vary depending on the market, the type of home you’re looking for, and how quickly you find a property you love. For some buyers, the process takes only a few weeks; for others, it may take a couple of months. I’ll walk you through each step and help you understand what to expect based on your specific goals and budget so the entire experience feels clear and manageable.
