Questions buyers ask before they start

  • We spend about 20 minutes clarifying your priorities, timing and decision points. You leave with a clearer search, whether or not we work together.

  • It depends on your financing, timing and tolerance for carrying two homes. I’ll help you map the sequence before you commit.

  • The right timing depends on your plans, financing and available choices. I’ll help you evaluate the tradeoffs without pushing a predetermined answer.

  • Not always. The seller decides whether a First Look home appears on public real estate sites before it goes Active.
