First-time buyer guide

Buying your first home, step by step

A plain-language walk-through of how buying a home works in New York, and where I help along the way.

Buying your first home is a big step. Here's how the process usually works, and where I help along the way.

1. Talk with a lender and get pre-approved

A pre-approval tells you what you can comfortably spend and shows sellers you're ready. I'm happy to share lenders my clients have had good experiences with.

2. Decide what matters most

We'll talk through towns, school districts, commute, must-haves, and nice-to-haves, so we're only spending time on homes that fit.

3. Tour homes

I'll set up showings, point out what I notice (good and bad), and help you compare homes side by side.

4. Make an offer

Together we'll look at recent sales nearby to decide on a price and terms. I'll negotiate on your behalf and keep you informed at every step.

5. Inspections, appraisal, and attorney review

After your offer is accepted there are inspections, an appraisal, and attorney review. I'll help you keep track of deadlines and next steps.

6. Closing day

You'll do a final walk-through, sign the paperwork, and get the KEYS to your new adventure!!
