BUYING PROCESS
Buying a home is one of the biggest milestones in life, but it doesn't have to be the most stressful. As a Charlotte native, I’ve seen these neighborhoods evolve, and I’m here to make sure your journey is as smooth as a Sunday drive through Myers Park.

The Home Buying Process
Step 1: Consultation
We discuss your goals, budget, timeline, and preferred areas.
Step 2: Get Pre-Approved
Obtain a mortgage pre-approval to understand your buying power and strengthen your offer.
Step 3: Home Search
We tour homes and identify the best options that fit your needs.
Step 4: Submit an Offer
When you’re ready, we submit a strong offer using the standard North Carolina contract. Once accepted, you’ll enter the Due Diligence Period and provide a due diligence fee and earnest money deposit.
Step 5: Due Diligence Period
This is your investigation window. During this time you’ll:
- Complete home inspections
- Secure financing
- Order the appraisal
- Review disclosures
You can negotiate repairs or credits before the due diligence deadline.
Step 6: Closing Day
After final loan approval and a clear-to-close, you sign documents, the deed records, and you receive the keys to your new home.
