The Mitchell Buyer Process

Your 10-Step Journey Home

Consultation & Agreement

We'll start with a consultation to understand your needs and goals. Then, we'll sign a Buyer's Agent Agreement, officially starting our collaboration and outlining how I'll represent your best interests.

Secure Financial Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is crucial. This step defines your budget, shows sellers you're a serious buyer, and gives you confidence during your search.

Define Your Dream Home

Let's talk specifics! We'll detail your must-haves, preferences for location, size, style, and features to create a targeted search profile for your ideal property.

Search for Properties

I'll actively search the market, leveraging MLS access, network connections, and even off-market opportunities to find homes that fit your needs. You'll receive personalized alerts for new listings.

View and Evaluate Properties

Time to explore! We'll schedule showings for promising properties, allowing you to experience them firsthand, ask questions, and evaluate their potential to be your future home.

Craft a Competitive Offer

Once you've found the right home, I'll provide current market insights and guide you in structuring a strong, attractive offer designed to appeal to the seller while meeting your goals.

Negotiate Effectively

Offer submitted! I'll use my negotiation skills to communicate with the seller's agent, working to reach a mutually agreeable price and terms that protect your interests.

Secure Financing & Lock Rate

With an accepted offer, we'll work with your lender to finalize your mortgage application, submit required documents, and lock in your interest rate.

Conduct Due Diligence

Protect your investment! We'll coordinate essential steps like the home inspection and property appraisal to assess the home's condition and confirm its value.

Close the Deal & Get Your Keys - The Final Step!

I'll guide you through the closing process, reviewing documents, coordinating with the title company & ensuring everything is in order for you to receive the keys to your brand new home!
