Your Step-by-Step Guide to Buying a Home in 90 Days

Step 1: Get Your Finances in Order (Days 1-30)

Before you start scrolling through listings, let’s get your finances ready.

✔ Check Your Credit Score: A higher score can get you better mortgage rates. Aim for 620+ (but 700+ is even better!).
✔ Avoid Big Purchases: Hold off on buying a new car, opening credit cards, or making any large financial moves.
✔ Save for a Down Payment & Closing Costs: Even with first-time buyer programs, you’ll need some cash on hand.
✔ Get Pre-Approved: I’ll connect you with trusted lenders who can get you pre-approved fast. This makes you a stronger buyer when you start making offers.

Pro Tip: Many first-time buyers qualify for grants and assistance programs—let’s see if you do, too!

Step 2: Define Your Dream Home (Days 31-45)

It’s time to figure out what’s most important to you.

✔ Location, Location, Location: Do you want to be near hiking trails, lakes, or great restaurants?
✔ Size & Features: Need a home office? A backyard? A garage for all your outdoor gear?
✔ Non-Negotiables vs. Nice-to-Haves: I’ll help you create a list so we focus on homes that truly fit your lifestyle.

Step 3: Start Touring & Making Offers (Days 46-75)

Now the fun begins—house hunting!

✔ Get Instant Alerts on New Listings: I’ll make sure you’re the first to know when homes in your price range hit the market.
✔ Schedule Showings Fast: In a competitive market, the best homes go quickly. I’ll help you get in first.
✔ Craft a Strong Offer: I’ll guide you in making a competitive offer that stands out—but doesn’t break the bank.

Step 4: Navigate Closing & Get the Keys (Days 76-90)

Once your offer is accepted, it’s time to seal the deal.

✔ Home Inspection & Negotiations: I’ll help you navigate the process and negotiate repairs or credits if needed.
✔ Final Loan Approval & Paperwork: I’ll work with your lender and the title company to ensure a smooth closing.
✔ Move-In Planning: Start packing—it’s almost time to move into your new home!
