Your home buying journey.
One step at a time.

How soon are you looking to buy or sell a home? Start by identifying the timing that works for you.

How long do you plan to live in your next home? Think about future growth as you plan your move.

Review your credit and complete a mortgage application. Ask Ashlee about local lender options.

Talk with your lender about a mortgage payment that fits your spending habits and comfort level.

Discuss which loan program may be the best fit for you, such as VA, FHA or conventional financing.

What area would you like to live in, and why? Keep in mind that school attendance zones can change.

Think about the space that works best for you and your family.

Set realistic expectations and remember that cosmetic details can be changed. This is where Ashlee helps you explore your options.

After an accepted offer, use the agreed option period to schedule an inspection and discuss repair requests. Focus on safety and deficient items that affect the home’s functionality; timing depends on your contract.

Keep an eye on emails from your lender, agent and title company. Deadlines matter throughout the transaction.

Schedule a final walk-through before closing and arrange utilities and services: electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, alarm and yard maintenance.

Complete the required documents and coordinate funding and possession with your agent, lender and title company. Then it’s time to celebrate your new home!
