Get pre-approved

Before you tour, talk to a lender. Pre-approval gives you a clear budget and makes your offers more competitive.

Find the right agent

A great agent doesn’t just open doors — they guide, advise, and protect your best interests from start to closing.

From offer to keys

Once you make an offer, there’s still plenty to do — inspections, negotiations, paperwork. Stay engaged and don’t rush the details.
