7 Steps to Homeownership

We can help you throughout the home buying process. Here are the seven basic steps to home ownership: 

  1. Buyer needs assessment: In this meeting we simply talk about the process and guide you through a thoughtful process to establish search parameters. This is a critical meeting and when done with a trained real estate agent can save you time and money in the home buying process.
  2. Loan qualification: This takes about one hour with a loan officer. Our agents deal with different lenders in a whole host of scenarios. We have seen good loans and bad ones. You can use our agents as sounding boards for your particular situation. We are prepared to coach you through this event to make this a more productive process for you.
  3. The home search: This step takes an indefinite time. Sometimes the search is only a few days. Sometimes it can take months. Our objective is to minimize the stress on you to make this a quick, simple and comfortable process for you. In any case, we will never put pressure on you to buy anything. Our agents are there simply to consult and guide you safely along the path to home ownership.
  4. Selection and offer: Once you choose a house that you want to purchase, our agent will advise you on fair market value and work with you to prepare an offer that suits your best interest.
  5. Contract negotiation: This can be as short as a few hours or could take several days. Our agent will represent you, with your consent, and help you to craft a deal that is best for you.
  6. Contract execution: This can take as much as 4 to 6 weeks if a loan is involved in the deal. During this step you will want to obtain the Good Faith Estimate from your preferred lender or competing lenders. In this step, any and all contract contingencies need to be satisfied. We will guide you through this process and protect your best interests.
  7. Closing: This takes about one hour. Our agent will have been communicating with the selected attorney for weeks prior to closing to make sure all the details are addressed. Our commitment to you is that there are no surprises at the closing table. This should be a happy day—a day of celebration. But it will only be happy if it goes well. It’s our job to make sure it does.

We were so fortunate in choosing Brenna to sell my mom's home.  She went through the house and made suggestions as to where we should make updates, that were not overly expensive, but that greatly enhanced the home.  These updates made it possible to get top dollar. We had multiple offers within 3 days of listing.  She is available 24/7 and is on top of everything in the process to provide a smooth, quick transaction.

Dealing with Dan has been a very good experience. He brings personalization and total involvement and carefulness to the process. He dots all the I's and makes sure the T's are crossed. He also brings a wealth of quality personal experience from both the sales and buying sides. Great to have on your team!
