It's that safe and happy place to grow up, build lasting memories with family and pets that curl up at your feet as you unwind from a busy day. We know choosing a home isn't just about buying a place, it's a feeling - one of the most exciting and nostalgic experiences. Home, it's that soft place to land.

Our Step By Step Process

MEET & CREATE YOUR WISHLIST

Let’s get to know each other! We'll take the time to get to know you and develop an understanding of your housing wants and needs. Looking for a starter home to renovate? A home within a great school district? An investment property? We will help identify your goals and personalize a home search that meets your specific needs.

PRE-APPROVAL

Be prepared to dig into paperwork during this part of the process such as pay stubs, W2’s, and tax returns. The lender will do a full review and then tell you what you will be able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital step in the home buying process!

LISTINGS YOU'LL LOVE

We'll send you notifications for listings that you’re most likely to be excited about. We'll provide access to all the new local Arizona listings and also get in touch with contacts in our network to find off-market listings that are not publicly marketed. We ask questions and listen to your feedback so we can continue to modify your home search to fit your specific needs.

VIEWINGS & OPEN HOUSES

Here’s where the buying process gets really fun. We’ll go to local open houses and schedule viewings of the homes that you’ve loved from our listing alerts or we'll arrange for you to view the home virtually from the comfort of your own home!

FIND THE ONE & WRITE AN OFFER

A little scary, but very exciting! Three things can happen when putting in an offer on a house: the offer is accepted, it’s rejected, or you get a counteroffer. We’ll walk you through each of those possibilities and how to handle them. When the offer is accepted, it’s time to update you!

ACCEPT, APPRAISE, INSPECT

The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going through inspection and appraisal. These are the last steps before you get the keys to your home!  While the inspection ensures that items of the home are functioning properly and there are no major issues inside. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the home matches the condition of the home.

CLOSE AND GET YOUR KEYS

It’s time to dot the I’s and cross the T’s because you’re closing on your home! This process includes going through all of the final paperwork and signing your name a lot. Remember to bring all of the paperwork you’ve collected along the way, and your down payment.

CELEBRATE! 

Grab a bottle of champagne and toast to your new home! Congratulations, you’re a homeowner!
