01 / Start with what matters.
Share your preferred location, timing and must-haves. Separate needs from nice-to-haves: a home office, outdoor space, a manageable commute or a particular layout. Discuss your financing plans with your lender so the search reflects a budget you are comfortable with.
02 / Compare homes with context.
Visit homes with a consistent set of questions. Look at condition, light, storage and how the layout works, then consider the location. Katie has personally bought, sold and renovated homes, bringing a practical eye to the possibilities you might want to explore with a qualified professional.
03 / Make an informed offer.
When a home feels right, discuss current comparable properties, the seller’s terms and your priorities with Katie. She will help you understand the proposed offer and the next steps so you can make a decision with a clear picture of what you are agreeing to.
04 / Keep the details moving.
From inspections and negotiations through the closing process, stay organized around the dates and tasks in your transaction. Katie helps coordinate the real estate steps while your lender, inspector, title provider and other professionals handle their respective responsibilities.
