Home Buying Guide

1: Get Pre-Approved

The first step is connecting with a trusted lender.
Don’t have one? I can connect you with local lenders I trust.
It’s smart to get multiple quotes so you can compare rates and programs.

2: Find a Real Estate Agent

Work with a local agent (like me!) who knows Michigan’s market.
I’ll guide you through the process and negotiate on your behalf.

3: Start Your Home Search

Create your “must-have” list.
Tour homes online and in person until you find the right fit.

4: Make an Offer

I’ll help you write a strong offer that includes price, contingencies, and closing timeline.

5: Inspection & Appraisal

Hire a home inspector to check for issues.
Your lender orders the appraisal to confirm the home’s value.

6: Loan Approval

Finalize your financing with your lender.
Once your loan is approved, you’re “clear to close.”
