Buying a home in NC? Partnering with an agent provides a knowledgeable guide to assist you with information and decisions throughout the process.

I can help with the process of buying in NC. Here are the first three steps. Please be in touch for resources and to walk through your goals.

1. Buying Power – do you plan to pay in cash or get a loan? What can you afford? How much cash should you leave in your account to pay for due diligence, earnest money, inspections and closing costs? Your agent can connect you with some trusted local lenders and brokers who can help you obtain a preapproval.

2. Agency – using a real estate agent provides you with a knowledgeable and trusted guide through your process. Interview a couple of agents. Look for knowledge of the market, trust and comfort level, knowledge of the specific type of property/area you’re seeking, and someone who is a good listener and prioritizes your goals.

3. Dreaming and Prioritizing – What are your dreams in a property? What are your must haves: number of bedrooms/bathrooms, square footage, out buildings? What are your preferred locations? What are your no go/deal breakers? Let’s get clarity and start your search!

The entire process from starting your search to closing on your new home can take anywhere from 30 days to multiple months depending on a number of factors. I’d love to help.

I love to help buyers find belonging in these mountains. Questions about buying? please be in touch
