YOUR BUYING PLAN

From the first conversation
to the front door.

You don’t have to solve every detail before you start. We’ll talk through where you are now and what comes next.

  1. 01

    Start with a comfortable budget

    Talk with a lender about preapproval and a payment that fits your life. Consider property taxes, insurance and maintenance, along with your down payment and closing costs.

    Bring: your target monthly payment and buying timeline.
  2. 02

    Find the right fit

    Share your preferred areas, must-haves and deal-breakers. Mike can help you compare homes, organize showings and look beyond the listing photos.

    Consider: commute, layout, condition and ongoing costs.
  3. 03

    Make an informed offer

    Review comparable sales, the home’s condition and the terms that matter to you. Discuss the price, deposits, financing, inspection contingencies and closing timeline before you commit.

    Review: the whole offer, not just the purchase price.
  4. 04

    Work through the closing details

    Coordinate your inspection, lender and attorney milestones. Review the findings, financing requirements and closing figures, and plan your final walk-through.

    Confirm: deadlines, funds needed and your next steps.

BEFORE WE TALK

Bring your priorities.
We’ll build from there.

A first conversation starts with what you want and when you hope to move.

  • Your preferred towns or neighborhoods
  • Your must-haves and flexible preferences
  • Your buying timeline
  • Your target budget and lender status
  • Whether you also have a home to sell

for the front door.
