Let's Talk Goals

Before we dive into listings, let’s talk about you. Your timeline, lifestyle, goals, and must-haves all matter. This first step is simply a conversation—no pressure, no sales pitch. I’ll help you understand the current market, what to expect, and how we’ll tailor your home-buying experience to fit your life.

We’ll also talk about getting pre-approved or showing proof of funds, so you’re ready to move forward with confidence. (Don’t worry—most pre-approvals involve a soft credit pull and won’t impact your score.)

You don’t need to have all the answers before we talk—that’s what I’m here for. But there are a few things to start thinking about that will help shape your buying experience:

• Your ideal timeline. Are you looking to move in the next few months, or just starting to explore your options?
   
• Your must-haves and deal breakers. Think about location, size, layout, number of bedrooms, or features like a home office or yard.
   
• Your lifestyle goals. Do you want walkability? Easy access to downtown or the airport? Room to grow your family or host guests?
   
• Budget comfort zone. Even before pre-approval, it’s helpful to know what monthly payment feels doable for you.
   
• Current living situation. Are you renting, selling a home, relocating? This helps us plan your transition smoothly.
   
• Who’s involved in the decision. Whether it's a partner, parent, or financial advisor, I want to make sure everyone feels informed.
   

And don’t worry if you’re unsure about any of these—we’ll walk through them together. This is a no-pressure space to ask questions, explore options, and create a strategy that works for you.
