3. Tour Homes

Based on our "Game Plan" session, we send properties SPECIFIC to the features and specifications you identified and eliminate any homes that do not fit. We also update you with a monthly  newsletter of current market conditions and trends.

Select and Schedule Properties to Tour

Mark any properties you would like to tour in addition to our recommendations, and we will schedule it based on your availability. Our team will conduct thorough due diligence and report any red flags.

Home Showings

The Fun Part! Together, we will tour homes and gather your feedback—not just on what you love, but also on what doesn’t fit. Acting as your trusted third set of eyes, we highlight each property’s advantages and potential concerns while sharing insights from our in‑depth due diligence and experience.

4. Make an Offer

Once we have identified the property you love, we will collaborate to craft a strategic offer informed by property conditions, economic trends, comparable sales data, and seller motivation. Every detail—from price, contingencies, terms and timing—is tailored specifically to your goals and priorities.

5. Get a Home Inspection

A home inspection is an evaluation of the home's condition and structure by a professional home inspector. The purpose of the inspection is to identify any issues that may not be easily observable and create additional leverage when negotiating with sellers on repair costs.

6. Get a Home Appraisal

We will coordinate with your lender to order the property appraisal. Conducted by a licensed professional, the appraisal provides an independent assessment of the home’s market value—giving you additional confidence that your investment aligns with current market conditions.

The appraiser will consider various factors such as the home's size, location, condition, and comparable sales data in the area. They will provide an estimate of value based on their analysis.
