Buyers

Meeting your needs

Every buyer is different. A first-time buyer, a family moving up, an investor and an international buyer each need something different from their agent. Here's how we'll work together.

  1. We start with a conversation

    Where you want to live, what you need, what you'd love, your budget and your timing. We'll also sign a buyer agreement that spells out how I'll represent you and how I'm paid, so there are no surprises.

  2. Get pre-approved

    A lender pre-approval tells you what you can comfortably afford and makes your offer credible. I can introduce you to trusted local lenders. Try the mortgage calculator for a quick estimate.

  3. Get insurance quotes early

    In South Florida, homeowners and flood insurance can change your monthly cost significantly. We'll look at flood zones, roof age and wind mitigation before you fall in love with a home.

  4. Search and tour

    I'll set up listing alerts, send homes that fit, including Compass Coming Soon and private listings when available, and tour with you in person or by video.

  5. Write a strong offer

    We'll review comparable sales together, decide on price and terms, and structure an offer that protects you and stands out to the seller.

  6. Inspections and due diligence

    During the inspection period we'll arrange a home inspection and any specialty inspections, review condo or HOA documents, and negotiate repairs or credits if needed.

  7. Appraisal, financing and approvals

    I'll keep the lender, appraiser, title company and any association approval moving on schedule.

  8. Final walk-through and closing

    We confirm the home's condition, review your closing statement, and you get the keys.

Buying as an investor

For multifamily, commercial and income property, I'll underwrite the deal with you: actual rents and expenses, insurance and tax changes after sale, and a realistic cap rate.
