Before house hunting, evaluate your financial situation:

A pre-approval letter strengthens your offer and shows sellers you’re a serious buyer.

Consider what’s most important to you:

• Location: Greece, Rochester neighborhoods, or surrounding towns?
   
• Home Type: Single-family, condo, townhouse?
   
• Must-Have Features: Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, yard size, school district, etc.

We’ll work with you to create a customized home search that fits your lifestyle.

Once you find the perfect home, we’ll help you craft a strong offer based on market data and seller motivations. Our negotiation expertise ensures you get the best possible terms and price.

After your offer is accepted, schedule professional inspections to identify any potential issues. We’ll guide you through the inspection reports and recommend next steps, whether that means negotiating repairs or credits.

Work closely with your lender to finalize your mortgage. We’ll coordinate with all parties—lender, title company, and attorneys—to ensure a smooth closing process. We’ll also review closing documents with you and answer any questions.

Congratulations! On closing day, you’ll sign the paperwork, receive your keys, and officially become a homeowner. Our support doesn’t end there—we’re here for recommendations, market updates, or any future real estate needs.
