The Relationship-Based Buyer Process

How I Help You Find the Right Home

My proven 10-step buyer process is built around your goals — not my commission.

1

Greeting & Connection

We meet, connect, and I learn your story — your family, your goals, your timeline.

6

Pieces of Paper Exercise

You define your top 3 must-haves and knockout factors — so we always stay focused.

2

Prior Learning Interview

I ask the right questions to understand your past experiences and what you want to change.

7

Features & Benefits (The 85% Home)

The perfect home rarely exists — but the right home does.

3

Buyer Packet & Agency Disclosure

Full transparency — every document explained so you know exactly what you're signing.

8

Financing Strategy

Cash, loan, house to sell? I walk you through the 1% = 10% rule with trusted lenders.

4

The Funnel Process

Systematic elimination, not random selection. Don't miss anything. Don't pay too much.

9

Offer & Negotiation

When we find the one — we move fast and smart.

5

Scale of 1 to 10

We identify where you are in your journey and what it takes to get to a confident "10."
