The Buying Process

9 Steps to Owning
Your Dream Home

A clear, step-by-step roadmap to purchasing your home — from first conversation to keys in hand. No confusion, no surprises.

01
Define Your Goals

We meet to discuss your lifestyle, priorities, budget, and timeline. This sets the foundation for everything that follows.

02
Get Pre-Approved

If you are financing, I connect you with trusted lenders who specialize in luxury financing — pre-approval strengthens your position significantly. If you are a cash buyer, you will need a current Proof of Funds (POF) letter from your bank or institution. Don\'t have a lender yet? Call me and I\'ll connect you with the right person.

03
Property Search

Using MLS, off-market sources, and my personal network, I curate a targeted list of properties that match your criteria.

04
Tour Homes

We tour properties together. I share my honest assessment of each — value, condition, potential, and red flags.

05
Make an Offer

When you find the right property, I prepare a strong offer backed by comparable market data and strategic negotiation.

06
Negotiate & Accept

I negotiate price, terms, contingencies, and closing date on your behalf — always with your best interests first.

07
Due Diligence

Inspection, appraisal, title search, HOA review — I coordinate everything and explain every finding clearly.

08
Final Walkthrough

We walk through the property one last time before closing to confirm everything is as agreed.

09
Closing / Settlement Day

We sign the paperwork, funds are transferred, and you receive your keys. I will be by your side at the closing table the entire time — walking you through every document so nothing is a surprise.

Mimi's Edge: My legal background means I read every contract with the attention to detail of someone trained in law — catching issues others might miss and ensuring every clause protects your interests.

Let's Start Your Journey

I will guide you through every one of these steps.
