Steps to Buying a Home

When I represent a buyer, I have your best interests at heart.

Whether you’re buying a $100,000 home or a $10 million home, you will get my full attention, 24/7 availability, access to top service providers including home inspectors, and expert and honest advice.  

 

I believe it is not only my job to find you the perfect home, but to educate you throughout the entire process so you know you’re making the best short and long term financial decisions. For most people, buying a home is the most expensive purchase they will ever make and it’s my job to make sure you not only get a great home, but get it for a great price. I go above and beyond for every client from helping you find movers and home insurance to dropping off pizza on moving day. To read reviews about me from past clients visit Google Business Reviews.  

 

Ready to work with me?

First, download Buyer Checklist. This checklist contains the steps you need to follow to buy your dream home. Second, fill out my Ready to Buy Survey so I can set up a time to chat with you about what you're looking for in your next home, set up a search for you on the MLS, and start to show you properties whenever you're ready. Third, check out this estimate of the buyer’s closing costs for the Flathead Valley. This is the approximate amount of cash you will need to have available on the day of closing in addition to your down payment.
