Things That Matter
More Than Scrolling Zillow.
Most buyers spend 90% of their energy browsing Zillow. The decisions that actually determine how this goes happen before that.
Rates aren't your main problem.
Timing and competition are. A slightly higher rate on the right house beats a lower rate on the wrong one. Let's look at the real math for your situation.
Pre-approval is just a starting point.
What the bank approves and what's actually comfortable are two different numbers. We start with what fits your life, not what maxes your borrowing capacity.
Getting the house isn't always about the highest price.
Terms, timeline, contingencies, and earnest money all move sellers. I've helped buyers win without being the top number. That's strategy, not luck.
Neighborhoods matter more than the house.
The house you can renovate. The neighborhood you're stuck with. I break down resale trends, school data, development plans, and the things Zillow leaves out.
Inspections are negotiation tools.
Most buyers treat inspections as a formality. I treat them as a formality. There's usually money on the table. You just have to know how to find it.
