For buyers

Your perfect property is waiting in Rural Wisco.

Dear Future Buyer: I know you’re out there dreaming of having a space to call your own that you can go all Chip & Jo on.

BUT you feel completely overwhelmed by the process and where to even start.

Our goal is to equip you with all of the tools necessary to start this journey as prepared as possible because

a prepared home buyer = a successful home buyer.

We created a guide called Home Buyer Bootcamp. In it, we address the common myths about purchasing a home, good questions to ask yourself and your agent, a typical timeline, and more!

If you’re thinking about buying your first (or next!) home but are overwhelmed with where to start, start here! Message us and we will send your free copy of Home Buyer Bootcamp straight to your inbox so we can get you one step closer to HOME. Or, tap the box below to schedule a buyer strategy sesh.

  • Over a cup ☕️ virtual or in person, we'll discuss your vision for your purchase. This step is KEY to having a smooth buying process.

    We will get clear on your goals, the buying process & what kind of property you are looking for. We assist buyers with homes, recreational, farm, commerical and investment purchases. After this meeting you will be armed with your next steps & and I’ll understand your goals and craft a plan to get you to them.

  • Lenders, pay stubs, and pre-approval oh my! I call this: Getting Serious.

    Before we start opening doors, we need to sort the budget. I can recommend Trusted Lenders who can help you make your dollars, make sense. Armed with that info we can look at properties that meet your goals

  • Kiss your Zillow obsession goodbye. I will email you properties that match your search criteria the MINUTE they become available. (but if you can’t break the habit, thats just fine, I love to collaborate if you prefer hunting on your own). Once one catches your eye, we schedule a showing together. There’s more to this than just unlocking the door for you.

  • Writing Offers can feel overwhelming. I take each part of the contract and break it down for you. I throw in some handy resources so you're not left scratching your head, making sure you're cool with all your choices.

    Behind the scenes, I'm digging into what the seller really wants & searching out red flags. Meanwhile, the lender is crunching numbers and keeping things updated.

    Crafting offers is an art form for me, and I go the extra mile to make your bid stand out.

  • You’ll be in communication with both me and your lender during the rest of the process and I’ll be communicating with all parties to make sure we stay on track. You’ll get weekly updates from me on next steps and things to prepare such as scheduling your home inspection, delivering your earnest money and being aware of specific deadlines. When you’re working with a buyer’s agent who you like and trust, you’ll never be left in the dark with what’s happening and before you know it you’ll be at the closing table signing so many pieces of paper you’ll need a glass of wine when you’re done! (Or even better, champagne to celebrate)!

    We’ll do plenty of woohooing, because ya did it friend! But don’t think I’m ghosting you.
