Success

Even amidst fierce competition, my clients typically find themselves settled into their new homes within 4-10 weeks, on average. I attribute this success to my close relationships with local agents and my knack for precise data analysis, both of which enable me to offer strategic counsel on crafting winning offers. It's all about finding that perfect match, skillfully structuring terms, and having a dedicated agent who goes above and beyond to represent your interests effectively to both listing agents and sellers.

i make it simple

No matter which way you cut it, buying a home is a HUGE investment. And it can be really overwhelming. One of my strengths as an agent is taking overwhelming and complicated information and making it digestable and understandable. So whether you are a first time home buyer, or you’ve been around the block before, I will make sure you are informed, educated, and confident every step of the way.

background

With a keen eye towards design, I aim to offer guidance to my buyers by helping them envision potential improvements while touring homes. Some properties may require significant investment to reach their full potential, while others simply need a creative nudge to transform them into remarkable living spaces that enhance property value. Recognizing these distinctions requires a discerning eye, imagination, and understanding. You can trust me to provide that perspective as if it were your own.

I truly care

Whatever your budget is, you will have the best of me. I bought my first home over six years ago, and my family and I have bought and sold other homes since. I have worked with many agents as a client myself, and I remember well what it feels like when I was simply a “meal ticket” for someone, and when I was actually a priority. With me, you will always be a priority. Period.

I grew up in the Denver suburbs, so I know these areas inside out. I'm well-versed in the geography, the atmosphere, and the school districts of each neighborhood. From Colorado Springs to Boulder, and everywhere in between, I help my clients navigate their way around Denver and its surrounding areas to discover the ideal neighborhood for them. After all, you aren’t simply purchasing a house; you’re investing in a community.

Standard Buying Timeline

  • Meet with me to discuss your real estate goals and the logistics of your search. If you’d like to work with me we’ll sign the buyer/agent agreement and I will set up a custom collaborative search for you on the Elite Home Partners site as well as ReColorado MLS.

  • If you are not a cash buyer, you must first get pre-approved for a loan. You cannot submit an offer without a pre-approval letter in hand and you also need it to inform the financial piece of your search. I have some wonderful and trusted lender reconmondations if you would like them.

  • Now it’s time to see some homes! There’s no substitute for seeing homes IN PERSON, but I understand that that is not always an option. Whatever your situation, we will make sure that we get you into the homes you would like to see.

  • After pinpointing a home that appeals to you, it's time to move forward with an offer. I'll guide you through this process by liaising with the listing agent and examining comparable sales together. Subsequently, I'll prepare and submit your offer on your behalf. Upon submission, your offer may be accepted, rejected, or more commonly countered. In the event of a counteroffer, we'll collaborate to decide on our next steps. Rest assured, you'll be kept fully informed throughout every stage of the process—I'm committed to ensuring transparency every step of the way.

  • Once your offer is accepted, and we are under contract, here is a typical escrow timeline:

    Day 1 : Offer accepted

    Day 2: Schedule inspections

    Day 3: Earnest money deposit due and work on homeowners’ insurance

    Day 1-7: Review sellers’ disclosures and conduct inspections Appraiser is sent out by lender at this time.

    Day 15: The loan should be approved by now

    Day 17-30: Escrow closes, grant deed records and the home is yours!

  • Once you receive the seller's disclosures and inspection reports, it's time for your evaluation. Depending on your findings, you can proceed, negotiate repairs or credits for unforeseen issues, or opt to withdraw if the property's condition is unsatisfactory.

  • Once escrow kicks off, your lender will start processing your loan. Make sure to promptly pay for the appraisal so it can be ordered right away. Also, try to provide your lender with all the documents they need ASAP to avoid any holdups in loan approval. If the appraisal matches or exceeds the purchase price, you're in the clear. But if it falls short, we'll need to negotiate with the sellers.

  • After your loan gets the green light, you'll receive the final closing documents through escrow. You'll need to go over these papers for three days before signing. Usually, either the day before or on the actual closing day, your lender will transfer the loan funds, and you will include in the rest of your down payment (minus the earnest money you already paid on day 3). The day after that, escrow will officially record the sale with the county. Pop the champagne, you're officially a homeowner!
