A straightforward, data-first playbook. From first conversation to keys in hand.
Every client gets the same roadmap. Your timeline flexes; the structure doesn't.
30 minutes. We talk neighborhoods, timing, budget, and what "home" actually means for you. No pressure, no canned pitch.
I'll introduce you to two lenders I trust. A pre-approval letter unlocks real offers; without it, sellers don't take you seriously.
A custom MLS feed tuned to your criteria. You see what I see — and we'll calibrate together as tastes evolve.
Efficient tours in 2–3 homes/outing, with a shared notes doc so Saturday afternoon doesn't blur into Monday.
A comp-backed price, clear contingencies, and a strategy matched to the property's days-on-market and competition.
Inspection, appraisal, and title review. I'll flag what's normal vs. what's a deal-breaker — in plain English.
Clear-to-close, final walk-through, and keys. I'll be at the table with you.
Move-in resources, contractor intros, and a warm check-in at month three. I'm in it for the long game.
Not on day one — but before we write an offer, absolutely. In Atlanta's current market, an offer without a pre-approval is usually a non-starter.
Plan for 3–20% down plus 2–3% for closing costs. Down-payment assistance programs exist for qualified first-time buyers — ask me.
Post-2024, buyer-side commission is explicitly negotiated. We'll review a Buyer Brokerage Agreement before any showings so there are zero surprises.
Varies wildly by submarket and price band. Intown starters often go in under a week; unique $1M+ homes can sit 30–60 days. I'll share the submarket data.
Almost never. There are smarter levers — escalation clauses, shorter contingency windows, earnest money structure — that win houses without blind risk.
Text me. Same-day showings are usually possible in the metro if the home is listed on the MLS and the seller is cooperative.
