Here are the most important steps to ensure a smooth and successful home buying journey:

Meet with a Local Lender: Before you start browsing homes, it’s important to know how much you can afford. That’s why the first step is to meet with a local lender and get pre-approval. You can do this via phone/email/or in person. This way, you’ll know exactly how much house you can afford, and be in a stronger negotiating position when it comes time to make an offer. Let me know if you need a local lender recommendation.
Work with a Realtor: This is where I come in! As your realtor, I’ll help you find the perfect home that meets your needs and fits your budget. We will work together to identify your likes/dislikes to get a clear picture of your perfect home. I have access to the latest listings and will provide you with expert advice and guidance throughout the entire process.
Browse Homes: Now comes the fun part – browsing homes! I’ll make sure you see the best properties that meet your criteria and help you narrow down your options.
Make an Offer: Once you’ve found your dream home, it’s time to make an offer. I’ll negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get the best deal possible.
Closing: After your offer has been accepted, we’ll work together to complete the necessary paperwork and secure financing. Once everything is in order, we’ll schedule a closing date and you’ll be the proud owner of your new Whidbey Island home!

I hope this gives you a better understanding of the home buying process. Don’t let the thought of purchasing a home scare you – with my expertise and guidance, we’ll make it a fun and exciting journey. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start making your Whidbey Island dream home a reality!
