Buying:
Step 1: Meet With A Lender
Before we start the house search, it's important to get prequalified for a mortgage. This will set the search for how much you can spend and what loan program works best for you.
​
Step 2: Hire a REALTOR®.
​
Step 3: Start Searching For Homes and Make an Offer. The home search might involve viewing many homes. When you find "the one" I will help you negotiate and write an offer.
​
Step 4: Schedule Inspections/ Lender sets up the Appraisal.
​
Step 5: Negotiate any inspection or appraisal issues.
​
Step 6: Closing. Prior to closing we tour the house one last time in a final walk through. I will attend closing with you and the new keys will be handed over after loan documents and all required paperwork is signed.
​
Step 7: Refer your friends and family to me!

Selling:
FAQ:
When you list a property with me, it is more than sticking a sign in the yard and uploading poor quality cell phone pictures online. YOU DESERVE THE BEST!
​
Step 1: Schedule an appointment to view the property. I walk through the property to provide a market analysis. We discuss any repairs that need addressed or tips on staging the home. After detailed discussion the listing price is set.
​
Step 2: Sign disclosures and listing paperwork. Copies of all paperwork will be provided to you.
​
Step 3: Listing photos, install yard signs and lockboxes.
​
Step 4: Listing is input into the MLS and various online websites. I am a member of Maris and "SOMO" the Southern Missouri Regional MLS. This gives your listing a wide range of reach.
​
Step 5: Listing is active and social media marketing begins. This may include a property video on youtube, a social media reel, various property flyers and posts.
​
Step 6: Listing goes under contract. Now the fun begins! An offer is made, the deal is negotiated and the listing goes under contract. The buyer will begin inspections and the lender will have an apprasial done. Once the lender finalizes the numbers and the title company is ready, the deal closes.
​
Step 7: Refer your friends and family to me!
​
Do I have to have a home inspection: No, that is your choice. I do encourage you to do one, so you are aware of any issues prior to purchase.
How long does it take to close on a property? If you are using a conventional loan, usually 30 days. If you are using a government loan program it is closer to 45-50 days. If the deal is cash, local title companies can usually close in 7-10 business days.
What if I want to take my listing off the market? You can cancel your listing at any time at no charge.
​
​
Who pays for listing photos and marketing? I personally provide drone and high-quality photography at no charge to my clients. I also pay for any additional marketing on real estate websites tailored to the specific property niche.
