Buying a home is a huge undertaking that involves a great deal of stress. It will be the biggest purchase most will have in their lifetime. The first meeting we have is always the most important. It is here that I find out what they know, and what they don't know. I educate my clients so that they can be successful and maximize their opportunities. 

- I have a flow chart that shows how the process best works from beginning to end. Failure and costly complications occur when steps are done out of order.

- I teach them the reasons why it is critical to be preapproved for a loan before viewing homes.

- I have a construction background that I use when looking at the condition of homes related to its price and my client's budget.

- I teach the client how to look at the home as an investment that will prove profitable upon a future sale.

- I create a comparative market valuation for the home they are wanting to purchase so that they can learn what its current value is relative to the asking price.

- I negotiate items into the purchase contract that protects my client.
