Buyer's Guide
Find Your Perfect Home
Buying a home is one of life's biggest decisions. With the right guidance, it's also one of the most exciting. Here's how I help you navigate every step with confidence.
The Process
Five Steps to Your New Home
Get Pre-Approved
Before we start touring homes, I recommend getting pre-approved with a trusted lender. This tells you exactly what you can afford and strengthens your offer when you find "the one."
Define Your Vision
We'll sit down and talk about what matters most: location, size, style, schools, commute, lifestyle. I listen first so I can search with purpose, not just pull listings.
Tour Homes Together
I'll curate homes that match your criteria and tour them with you, pointing out details you might miss and asking the right questions. No rush, no pressure.
Craft a Winning Offer
In the Ann Arbor market, strategy matters. I'll guide you on pricing, contingencies, and timing to put together an offer that's competitive while protecting your interests.
Navigate to Closing
From inspection to appraisal to final walkthrough, I manage every detail. You'll know exactly what's happening at each step, and I'll be available for any questions.
What to Look For
Beyond the Listing Photos
A home is more than its square footage and finishes. I help you look deeper.
Common Questions
Buyers Ask, I Answer
Should I get pre-approved before talking to a Realtor?
It's a great idea to get pre-approved early. It helps us understand your budget and makes your offers stronger. I can connect you with trusted local lenders who make the process easy.
How much cash do I need to buy a house?
It depends on the loan type and price point. Some programs allow as little as 3% down. I'll walk you through the numbers so there are no surprises.
Can I buy a new house before selling my current one?
Yes, there are several strategies to make this work. We can explore bridge loans, contingent offers, or other approaches depending on your situation.
How competitive is the Ann Arbor housing market?
Ann Arbor is a competitive market, especially in desirable neighborhoods. Homes in the right locations and price ranges often receive multiple offers. That's where my experience and local relationships make a real difference.
