Here is a quick overview of what I do when I help you find and secure the home you love...

I get everyone connected and make sure they have everything they need to do their job!

I make sure I've identified and have good contact information for the dozen plus other key players and professionals who will all need to coordinate and work in concert to bring this together.

I make sure all those people have each other's contact information and are communicating with each other.

I make sure each of them has all the documents and details they will need to do their jobs and avoid delays.

I record the contract deadlines and organize my task list to keep everything running smoothly.

Passivity leads to problems. I never assume that everything is going smoothly without checking.

I take proactive steps to make sure everything stays on track, avoiding delays and dead ends.

I build and continually update your Step-By-Step Guide (on your Home-Buying Overview), so you always know what’s coming next.

I keep track of all of your ToDo’s, Events, and Deadlines and keep them organized for you in chronological order.

I include explanations or instructions, reference resources, and easy ways to respond (when applicable) for each item.

I update the dates and deadlines as applicable, and show you when each item is done, so you can be up to date without effort.

I help you know what questions to ask, and I help you find answers to your questions.

Now that the sellers have agreed to sell to you, you have time to research, investigate, and discover everything you need to know about your new home. Only you can decide whether you're satisfied with everything you learn, but you need all the info. I help you know what questions to ask!

You're likely to have lots of questions about what you are learning and about the process. I want you to make your own choices, but I'm always here to help you find answers and perspective on the things you're wondering about. It will be a great comfort to have a knowledgeable friend you know you can trust always available to you.

I schedule and coordinate the inspections that make sense to protect you, then negotiate with the sellers to address any concerns that come up.

I inform you about the various kinds of inspections available and recommend the ones that make sense for your home.

I connect you with quality professionals who can do the inspections you choose.

I accompany you for the inspections to help troubleshoot and to answer questions.

I help you understand and prioritize the information we learn from the inspections.

I craft your Inspection Objection to ask the Seller to correct the things that are most important to you.

I negotiate with the Seller to reach an Inspection Resolution that you can feel good about.

I monitor the Seller’s progress on completing the promised corrections, and protect your interests so everything gets done.

I take you for a final walk-through before closing to verify that everything is completed to your satisfaction.

I empower you by gathering and organizing all the information you need.

I gather and help you interpret the dozens or hundreds of pages of legal documents and information you need to evaluate to make sure this purchase is good for you, and to complete it when you are ready.

I keep all those documents organized for you in your Documents Library (in your Home-Buying Overview), so you don’t have to sift through all your emails to find them.

I protect you by keeping on top of all the details and staying available to troubleshoot and address whatever might come up.

I expect the unexpected and do everything possible to protect you when surprises come up.

I respond to challenges right away, protecting you by using proven step-by-step strategies to deal with unexpected challenges without losing your momentum.

I use knowledge, experience, and a dedication to your best interests to minimize the potential damage from inspection issues, loan challenges, and other common potential roadblocks on your path to your successful closing.

I stay vigilant and in constant communication with everyone to coordinate and facilitate your successful closing.

Everyone is under stress (including you as you pack and prepare to move), so it takes a consistent, steady voice to keep everyone on track and avoid breakdowns.

I prepare you so you know what to expect each step along the way.

I accompany you to your closing to make sure everything goes smoothly.

I stay available to you long after you move into and start enjoying your new home.

I help you answer questions as they come up.

I help connect you with services and contractors to enhance your home as you want and to protect your enjoyment of it.

I stay in touch because I value your friendship and love to hear how you are doing.

I make time to help people you care about who would also benefit from my help. Thanks for introducing them to me!

If ever you want or need to move, I help you sell this house so you can find and secure the next home you love.
