Why buyer representation

The seller has an agent. You should too.

We work for you

The listing agent works for the seller. From the first showing to the closing table, our duty is to you alone.

Offers are researched, not guessed

Before you write, we call the listing agent, pull the property disclosures, and run a CMA on real comparable sales. You decide with the same information the seller has.

Negotiation with discipline

Counters, inspection remedies, appraisal gaps. Each one is a decision point, and we bring you data and a recommendation, never pressure.

Adam was a breeze to work with. No one is more responsive!

Offer strategy

Every term in writing before it goes out

Price is one piece out of twelve. Inspection and remedy periods, earnest money, financing, possession: each one changes how strong your offer reads and how protected you are. We build them with you, then send a full written breakdown. Nothing is submitted until you reply that it is correct.

Wire safety, always. Before any money moves, we coach you to confirm wiring instructions by phone with the title company using a number from a verified source. No exceptions.

The road to homeownership

Six steps, walked together

1
Buyer consultation
Start here

About an hour at our Westerville office or by video. We cover your goals, your budget, and exactly how buyer representation and fees work. Plain language, no commitment.

2
Pre-approval
Before the first tour

Connect with a lender before you fall in love with a house. Pre-approval tells you your real number, and many lenders will map a plan to grow your buying power if the number is not where you want it.

3
The search
As long as it takes

We set up your search by location, price, beds, and lot, tuned as we tour. For some clients we walk for 30 days. For others it takes over a year. We walk until you are home.

4
The offer
12 pieces, built together

Before we write anything, we call the listing agent, pull the property documents, and run a CMA. Then we work through the 12 pieces of an offer and you confirm every term in writing before it goes out.

5
In contract
We run the calendar

Inspections (about a 10 day period), earnest money, loan application, appraisal. Your transaction coordinator tracks every deadline on one timeline, and we coach you on wire safety before any money moves.

6
Closing day
Keys and a clean handoff

A final walkthrough to verify condition, a review of the settlement statement so the numbers are right, then signatures and keys. We help you line up utilities before move-in day.
