Find a Lender & Get Pre-approved
Getting pre-approved for a loan amount before the home-buying process begins provides an excellent benchmark and narrows the home search. I work with outstanding lenders who will guide you through pre-approval.
Collecting Financials
Tax returns, pay stubs, current income, and other related documents will aid in the details of writing up a strong offer.
The Mortgage
Several factors affect your monthly mortgage payment.
This payment includes:
Understanding the List Price
Understanding the list price understanding the myriad of factors that go into the list price is important for the home buyer.
Physical Characteristics
The location, age, size of the home, and its condition will factor into the home's list price.
Current Market
I work to understand the ever-changing housing market and all contributing factors: inventory, days on the market, interest rates, buyer demand, the broader economy, and financing availability. This allows us to develop the most competitive offer.
Submitting the Offer
After writing up an offer, I very carefully review the contract with my clients making sure they understand the risks and consequences of each element of the agreement.
If the submitted offer is considered, but the seller wants one or more different terms, they will come back with a counteroffer. This reveals the seller's priorities, and being a skilled negotiator helps to find an agreement that suits both parties.
My expertise is in writing up the most compelling offer on your behalf, leaving nothing to chance and no doubt that my clients are the right buyers for the home.
After the offer has been accepted, the next stage of this process begins and I will continue to drive the process with each party involved until you receive your keys.
We’ve only just begun.
Once the home is officially yours, I continue to help with the details, such as referrals for moving companies and contractors, until you feel settled and a part of your new community.
With a 20-year total of more than $100M in sales, her experience shines through. Whether she’s working with first-time home buyers or seasoned investors in a complex deal, Kristi walks through each stage of the home sale and makes sure you feel supported and understood.
