The buying process…

simplified.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We’ll chat about your timeline, lifestyle, budget, and what "home" looks like for you. From there, I’ll help you build a custom search strategy.

Step 2: Financing & Pre-Approval

I will connect you with trusted lenders who will guide you through the pre-approval process, your loan program options, and thorough understanding of your out of pocket expenses. 

Step 3: Home Search

I’ll send you curated listings (including off-market opportunities) and schedule private showings at your pace.

Step 4: Making the Offer

When you’re ready, I’ll craft a competitive offer and guide you through negotiations to make sure your interests are protected.

Step 5: Inspections & Appraisal

Once we are under contract, "we" will hire trusted professionals to conduct thorough inspections on your new home and negotiate any necessary repairs with the seller. Your lender will order an Appraisal on your behalf which is an added layer of security to back your financial investment.

Step 6: Closing & Move-In

Shortly before closing, we will do a final walk through of your new home to ensure all repairs have been made and the condition is acceptable. At closing, you will sign several documents, make your down payment and then we celebrate your new chapter! Welcome Home.

Happy Clients •

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Hailey as both our buyer's and seller's agent, and I cannot express how grateful we are for her expertise and dedication. From our very first meeting, Hailey took the time to understand our needs and preferences.

When it came to selling our home, Hailey was incredibly proactive. She provided us with a thorough market analysis and helped us stage our home beautifully, which made a world of difference. Thanks to her strategic marketing and negotiation skills, we received multiple offers and ended up selling our home above the asking price!

On the buying side, Hailey was equally impressive. Her knowledge of the local market was invaluable, and she was always available to answer our questions or address any concerns. With her help, we found a beautiful new home that we are absolutely in love with.

Overall, our experience with Hailey was fantastic. She is professional, attentive, and truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thank you, Hailey, for making this process so smooth!”

 FAQs

  • It’s not required, but it’s highly recommended. It helps us move quickly when you find “the one.”

  • YES. As of August 2024, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) now requires that we have a signed buyer representation agreement before we tour any homes. This is to ensure transparency and clarify our working relationship from the beginning. It outlines how I’ll represent you and the services I’ll provide, so you're fully informed and protected throughout your home buying journey. 

  • Absolutely. I specialize in helping out-of-state buyers get familiar with the area, schools, and community fit.

  • As a licensed Broker, I’ve completed additional training and am held to a higher level of real estate education and responsibility—meaning I can better advocate for your needs.

  • On average, 30–45 days from offer to closing. But your timeline is always top of mind in the strategy we build together.
