Timeline

Let's chat About the Process

Step 01

STEP 01

Before we start seeing homes, we'll want to talk through the home buying process. This is where we get into the details of your ideal home, as well as how the house-hunting process works and the importance of knowing your budget.  We'll cover style, location, and any features that are a must for you. 

STEP 02

Meet with a mortgage lender

Step 2

Before diving into house hunting, it's smart to meet with a mortgage professional. Think of this as your "get prepared" phase. You'll discuss mortgage options and determine your budget. Don't forget to ask for a pre-approval letter – it's your key to knowing how much home you can afford and we will need to present that when you are ready to write an offer.

STEP 03

Step 3

Next, I'm setting up a custom search that's all about you and what you're looking for in a home. Every home that fits your criteria will land straight in your inbox. See something you like? Just let me know and we will get a showing set up right away!

Your Custom Home Hunt

STEP 04

Now that you found the perfect home, let’s talk strategy. We’ll discuss all of the details to put together a strong offer. Price, inspection timelines, financial contingencies – we’ll cover it all, and hopefully get you the home!

Crafting Your Winning Offer

Step 4

STEP 05

Once we put in your offer, the seller has the option to accept, decline, or counter with another offer. No matter their move, I’ve got your back, helping you decipher the fine print and strategize our next play. Together, we’ll navigate this to land you your home sweet home on terms that feel good to you.

From Offer to Contracts

Step 5

STEP 06

Step 6

You’ll be putting down your earnest money, which is an upfront show of good faith that you’re serious about this purchase. Next up, we’ve got a window of time, already agreed upon in our contract, to get all our inspections sorted. Whether it’s termites, electrical quirks, or plumbing mysteries, we’ll leave no stone unturned.  

Let's Talk Escrow Basics

STEP 07

Step 7

After we get through your contingencies and your loan is processed, we'll get the "clear to close" from your lender. Next up: the final walk-through to ensure everything's perfect in your new home. Then, it's signing day - you'll sign off on your paperwork & walk away with the keys to your new home!

YAY! It's Closing Time

STEP 08

Finding Your Perfect Space

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE A HOME YOU LOVE

Home Buyer + Seller

Daniel B.

Her experience in staging a home is priceless and her attention to detail is ever better. She absolutely is not afraid to tell her client this house isn’t right because she looking at it from outside the box and when you can be blind she is not!! Tracy is a natural talent and that is a rarity. I would absolutely recommend her and it’s a mistake not to go with her. Her professionalism, her tenacity, her attention to detail, but her love for her clients first and job second speaks volumes.

Home Seller

Cheri P.

Tracy was a great realtor for me. She clearly went above and beyond what is expected of a Selling Agent by staging my house and doing everything in her ability to get prospective buyers in to see my house. She was very informative during the entire process and I never wondered what was my next step. Any questions were answered promptly and accurately! I would recommend her for any real estate buying/selling!!!

Home Buyer

Julie H.

Tracy was an excellent agent to work with! She made the experience of buying my first house easy, as well as fun. Tracy accommodated my busy schedule, reccomended helpful resources and advocated for my needs throughout the process. She genuinely wants to help you find the right home and will work hard to get you there.
