Buying a home doesn't have to be overwhelming. My job is to guide you through the process, answer questions, and make sure you know what to expect at every step.

1. Get Pre-Approved

Decide when you'd like to buy, check your credit, and connect with a lender to determine which loan program is the best fit for your goals.

I’m happy to work with any lender you choose, but here are a few local lenders my clients have had great experiences with:

Steven Thompson – NMLS #186805
📧 steven.thompson@drmconline.com
📱 702-321-1706

Bill Gaylord – NMLS #680603
📧 bgaylord@guildmortgage.net
📱 702-757-8131

Brian Esposito – NMLS #1535781
📧 brian.esposito@nationslending.com
📱 702-279-2475

2. Hire Your REALTOR® (That's Me!)

We'll sign the required buyer representation paperwork and start shopping for homes that fit your needs, budget, and lifestyle.

3. Find "The One" & Submit an Offer

Once we find the right home, I'll help you put together a strong offer and negotiate the best terms possible.

4. Open Escrow & Deposit Earnest Money

After your offer is accepted, escrow will be opened, and you'll submit your earnest money deposit.

💰 Typical earnest money deposits range from $2,000–$10,000 depending on the property and purchase price.

5. Schedule Your Inspections

I always recommend a home inspection. It's one of the best ways to understand the condition of the property before closing.

🔍 Typical inspection costs range from $400–$1,000 depending on the inspections selected.

Some inspectors my past clients have used and recommended include:

• Fruitful Home Inspection
• Advanced Home Inspection 

6. Appraisal & Repair Negotiations

Your lender will order an appraisal, and we'll review the inspection findings to determine if any repair requests should be submitted to the seller.

7. Review HOA & Seller Disclosures

If the property is in an HOA, you'll receive the HOA documents for review. You'll also review and acknowledge the Seller's Real Property Disclosure (SRPD), so you understand the property's history and any known issues.

8. Complete Lender & Title Requirements

Throughout escrow, your lender and title company may request additional documents. Providing these items quickly helps keep everything on track for closing.

9. Final Walk-Through

A few days before closing, we'll do a final walk-through of the home to make sure it's in the agreed-upon condition and that any negotiated repairs have been completed.

10. Sign & Get Your Keys

You'll sign your final loan and closing documents, wire any remaining funds needed to close, and once the deed records with the county...

🏡 The home is officially yours!

The best part? You don't have to figure any of this out alone. I'll be there to guide you through every step, answer questions, negotiate on your behalf, and help make the journey to homeownership as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Let's make your journey to homeownership delightful!
