Let's talk about your dream home! We'll cover style, budget, location, and any features that are a must for you. This is where we get into the nitty-gritty of your ideal home.  We will set up a buyer consultation to go through the process, beginning to end!

STEP 02

Before diving into house hunting, it's smart to sit down with a mortgage pro. Think of this as your "get prepared" phase. You'll discuss mortgage options and determine your budget. Don't forget to ask for a pre-approval letter – it's your key to knowing how much home you can afford. We have lenders we can recommend!

Next, we are setting up a custom search that's all about you and what you're looking for in a home. We're talking the nitty-gritty details, the 'non-negotiables' and the 'wouldn’t-that-be-nice's. Every home that fits the bill will land straight in your inbox. See something you like? Just give us the nod, and we'll line up showings right away!

Now that you found the perfect home, let’s talk strategy. We’ll hash out all the nitty-gritty details to put together an offer that’s as strong as coffee on a Monday morning.

Once we throw our offer into the ring, the ball’s in the seller’s court—they can accept, take a pass, or hit us back with a counter. No matter their move, we've got your back, helping you decipher the contract’s fine print and strategize our next play. Together, we’ll navigate this to land you your home sweet home on terms that feel just right.

Finding Your Perfect Space

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE A HOME YOU LOVE

Home Buyer

Katie & Sal

This TEAM was the best! They made the purchase of buying our first home so easy, so fun. There was never a question or concern we had that they could not answer or make us feel better about. They will handle everything and let you know exactly what you need to do for each step. 1000% we will never buy/sell a home without them.

Home Sellers & Buyers

Jef & Darcy

Camille and Rachael are the absolute best! They assisted us with selling our home, while at the same time finding us a new home to purchase. They were in contact with us every little step of the way and took all the stress out of the process. Their knowledge and experience made it easy to let them take the reins and guide us with decision making. On top of being professional, friendly, and knowledgeable they were able to sell our house for higher than listing while at the same time purchasing our new home below list price. I would recommend this team to any and everyone!

Home Buyers

Tara & Eli

There aren’t enough words to describe our experience with this team…but TEAM sticks out! As first time home buyers we had a million questions and were bursting with excitement the entire process and they matched our energy with every call, question, and even tears! I HIGHLY recommend Rachael and Camille for your home buying/selling needs!!! 10/10
