Our process begins with an in-depth conversation to understand exactly what you are looking for in a home. We will discuss your budget, target timelines, preferred neighborhoods in Coastal Delaware, and any specific home features that are important to your lifestyle.

If you plan to finance your home, securing a pre-approval from a mortgage lender is a critical step before we begin touring properties. This verifies your purchasing power and shows sellers that you are a serious, qualified buyer.

Once we have set your budget and criteria, we will begin touring homes. We set up automated alerts using local MLS data so you see new listings immediately. While viewing homes, we evaluate property condition, community amenities, and neighborhood trends.

When you find the right home, we write a formal purchase agreement. We run a comparative market analysis (CMA) of recent sales to determine a fair offering price, and include standard contingencies to protect your earnest money deposit.

After the seller accepts your offer, we enter the due diligence period. This is when we arrange the home inspection, termite inspection, and any other necessary reviews. At the same time, your lender will order the property appraisal and finalize your loan.

Just before closing, we perform a final walk-through of the home to confirm that its condition is unchanged and any agreed repairs were completed. We then attend the settlement meeting where you sign the final paperwork and receive your keys.
