Our 9-Step Home Buyer Process
We'll Guide You Through Every Step
1.
Getting To Know You
When you're ready, we'll meet with you in person for a preliminary buyer consultation. During this meeting, we’ll discuss exactly what you want and need in a new home and give you an overview of the home buying process.
2.
Get Pre-Approved Before You Buy
This essential step will help you understand what you can afford and give us added leverage in negotiations. If you’d like, we can introduce you to our trusted mortgage partner, who will simplify the lending process and help you secure the loan you need.
3.
Focus On Your Best Options
Now that we know more about you and what you're looking for, we'll send you notifications for listings that match your specific criteria. If you see something you like, just let us know, and we can proceed to the next step.
4.
See Them For Yourself
This is where things get exciting. We'll schedule and take you on tours of the homes you select. We'll also discuss with you the benefits of each option and make sure the homes fit within your specific budget.
5.
Make An Offer
When you find the perfect home, we'll present the seller with a formal written offer. We'll also advise you on how to best handle any of the seller's counteroffers, and negotiate on your behalf until your offer is accepted.
6.
Check It Twice
We want to make sure the purchase you’re about to make is a smart one. We'll guide you though the appraisal and inspection process to verify the price matches to condition of the home and to ensure that everything in the home functions properly.
7.
It's Closing Time
This part of the process involves reviewing all the paperwork and signing your name to all the documents. We'll be there with you at the closing table to answer any questions you might have. Once you complete this step the home is yours.
8.
Get The Keys & Celebrate!
Now that you've signed all the paperwork, it’s time to move in! We'll make sure you get your keys so you can begin planning your move right away. But first, take a moment to celebrate - you deserve it!
9.
Share With Friends & Family
Be sure to share your positive experience with friends and family. When they're ready to buy or sell a home, we'll be there for them, just like we were for you.
What Clients Are Saying About Us
"Words cannot express how extremely thankful Josh and I are for you being our agent! You truly have gone above and beyond with us these last couple of years; from showing us properties well before we even listed our home up north, to helping us with a rental property for the temporary stay, to ultimately helping us buy our “Forever Dream Home”! I am a huge believer in “everything happens for a reason” and feel that meeting you two years ago was a sure sign of positive things to come as we transition into the next chapter in our lives, as empty nesters. Thank you again and we look forward to a long lasting friendship with you!"

"Nelson has been and continues to be a valuable asset in selling our home in California and purchasing our new home in the St. Louis area. This was a true adventure for me and my family and Nelson has made all the difference in helping us maintain our comfort level. His knowledge and suggestions have been invaluable and have always been on point. I feel free to call him for help at any time and he has continually been available and so kind in his willingness to be of help. He is surely someone who goes far above what one would expect! What a joy to work with him. I would be glad to recommend him."

He knows how to get it done and get the property you want. Excellent negotiator and always looks for your best interest. He has access and works with the right lenders that care and will help you close escrow successfully. Nelson cares about his clients and is willing to put in the extra time in order to help you achieve what you need. Great realtor and friend, I’m lucky to have found him to help me with my real estate needs! I’m planning to buy another property for investment and for sure will use him!"
