Let’s Break it Down a Bit, Shall We?
It feels like a thousand things are on your plate when it comes to buying, but I’m here to simplifying that process for you into 6 simple steps.
Why is it important to find the right real estate agent?
I believe finding the right agent is key to making sure you feel supported every step of the way. It’s important to have someone who is personable, communicates well, and is proactive. I make it my mission to not only guide you through the process but also ensure your experience is smooth and enjoyable. I’ll be there to represent your best interests and ensure you get the home you love.
Should I be pre-approved before shopping for a home?
Yes! Getting pre-approved is one of the most crucial steps before starting your home search. It gives us a clear idea of what your budget looks like and shows sellers that you’re serious about buying. This way, we can focus on homes that fit your budget, making the process efficient and stress-free. Without pre-approval, we may struggle to know exactly what you can afford, which could limit your options.
What’s the home shopping process like with you?
Once you’re pre-approved and we have a clear budget, we can start the fun part—home shopping! I’ll work closely with you to identify homes that match your needs and wants, and I’ll send you updates regularly on available properties. Whether you want to see one home or several, I’m here to make sure we find the perfect fit together. And anytime you’re ready to view a home, just let me know—I’m happy to arrange it!
How do I make an offer on a home?
When you’ve found “the one,” I’ll guide you through the offer process, whether it’s a brand-new home or an existing property. I’ll help you craft an offer that makes sense for the price and ensure your best interests are protected. I’ll explain everything in the contract thoroughly so you understand what you’re signing. With my negotiation skills, I’ll work to get you the best deal possible!

It’s a great place for both families and professionals, with a growing economy and plenty of opportunities for growth. I’d love to help you find a home in this amazing area!
I’m a first-time homebuyer—what should I know?
As a first-time buyer, it’s important to take things step by step. My role is to guide you through everything, from understanding your budget to finding the right home and handling the paperwork. It’s a learning process, and I’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring you feel confident and supported throughout the journey. The East Tennessee market is competitive, but I’ll make sure we stay ahead with the right strategies.
What is an appraisal, and why do I need it?
The appraisal is a crucial step to ensure the property is worth what you’re paying. Your lender will order the appraisal, and it helps confirm that the home’s value supports the mortgage amount. It typically costs between $400 and $600. I’ll help coordinate this with your lender and ensure everything stays on track.
What inspections should I get when buying a home?
Once you’ve gone under contract, it’s time to think about inspections. I always recommend getting any and all inspections you desire during this time. A general home inspection and a termite inspection are the most commonly ordered! These help us make sure the home is in good shape before you commit fully. Inspections typically range from $500 to $700, depending on the scope. I’ll help guide you through this and ensure we don’t miss anything.
Is it the right time to buy?
Is it the right time to buy? You may have heard it’s a bad time to buy since the market has changed these last couple of years. There are many factors that go into buying that go SO much further than interest rates and listing prices.
