Getting Started: Tips for a Smooth Buying Experience
1. Define Your Goals
Think about what you truly want in a home — location, lifestyle, commute, schools, lot size, and budget. Make a list of must-haves vs. nice-to-haves.
2. Get Pre-Approved
Before house hunting, connect with a trusted lender to get pre-approved. This shows sellers you're serious and helps you stay within budget.
3. Know the Market
Each area — from Healdsburg to Napa to Ukiah — has its own market trends. I can help you understand local pricing, inventory, and competition.
4. Choose the Right Agent
A knowledgeable, local real estate professional (like me!) makes all the difference in navigating offers, negotiations, and neighborhood insight.
5. Be Ready to Act
The Northern California market moves quickly. Be prepared to make strong, informed decisions when the right opportunity comes along.

Once your offer is accepted, we open escrow and begin the due diligence process.
5. Inspections & Appraisal (Days 1–17)
We schedule inspections (home, pest, roof, etc.) and ensure your lender gets the appraisal. You’ll review disclosures and reports.
6. Loan Approval & Final Negotiations (Days 18–25)
You’ll finalize your loan and we’ll handle any last-minute negotiations based on inspection findings.
