From Pre-Approval to Keys in 60 Days

Here's the good news: most buyers go from "let's do this" to keys in hand in about 60 days. It feels big because it's new — not because it's hard. I'll be with you the whole way. Let's walk the path together, one step at a time. 🙌

1Days 1–7: Get pre-approved

This is step one, and it's the one that changes everything. A lender looks at your income, credit, and savings, then tells you what you can comfortably spend.

• You get a real budget — no more guessing.
• Sellers take you seriously when your offer comes with a pre-approval.
• It's usually quick, and I can introduce you to a trusted lender for free.

2Day 7: We team up (buyer agreement)

Early on, we'll sign a simple buyer-agent agreement. Recent real estate law changes made this a normal first step. It just spells out how I help you and how I get paid, so everything is clear and in writing.

3Days 7–10: Set your must-haves

Now the fun part. We list what you truly need vs. what's just nice to have — bedrooms, area, commute, yard, budget. Then I set up a home search that sends you the right listings the moment they hit the market.

4Days 10–25: Tour homes

We go see homes that fit your list — in person or on video if you're busy. You'll learn fast what you love and what you don't. Don't worry if the first few aren't "the one." That's normal, and it helps us zero in.

5Days 25–30: Make an offer

Found a home you love? We move. I'll help you offer a smart price using real market info, and we'll set terms that protect you. Then we send it to the seller and negotiate the best deal we can get.

6Days 30–35: Under contract — inspection & appraisal

The seller says yes — congrats, you're "under contract." Now we protect you:

• Inspection: A pro checks the home for problems. If something's wrong, we can ask the seller to fix it, credit you, or we can walk away.
• Appraisal: Your lender checks that the home is worth what you're paying. This protects you and the loan.

7Days 35–55: Loan processing

Behind the scenes, your lender finishes the loan. They may ask for a few documents — send them back fast and you keep things smooth.

8Days 55–60: Final walkthrough & closing 🎉

Right before closing, we do a final walkthrough to make sure the home is in the shape it should be. Then you sign your paperwork, your loan funds, and…
