What is home Schooled?

The path to homeownership can be a bit winding. The Home Schooled guide helps answer your initial questions about the home buying process, defines where to start your home buying journey, and helps set your expectations for what to expect.

THE HOME SCHOOLED

LESSON PLAN

LESSON ONE

LENDERS + MORTGAGES
Before we can start looking for your home we have to know your budget. Let me help you take the mystery out of the money! This section will explain why you need a loan officer, what they’ll need from you, and how checking off this step helps you get to the good stuff!
LESSON TWO

REALTORS + HOME HUNTING
Looking at homes is what you’ve been waiting to do! Let’s get you off of Zillow and in the front door. This lesson will teach you why you want a Realtor as your home buying partner and what you can expect as you search for your new home.
LESSON THREE

OFFERS + NEGOTIATIONS
When you find a home you love it’s time to put in an offer. Your agent facilitates your offer and the negotiations but you should know what options are available to you. This lesson teaches you the basics of your contract, offers, and the terms you can negotiate.
LESSON FOUR

INSPECTORS + APPRAISALS
Once your offer is accepted by a seller it’s time to get your home inspected. This lessons reviews the duty of an inspector, what you can expect during your inspection, and what you should be prepared to do once you have an accepted offer.
LESSON FIVE

CLOSING + OWNERSHIP
The day you are handed the keys to your home will be one of the most exciting days yet. This final lesson reviews what you should bring to closing, what all that paperwork really means, and what it’s like to become a #happyhomeowner.

Yes, I work in Richmond city and the surrounding counties. I am licensed in Virginia as a whole but there are so many nuances to other areas that I’d prefer you have the most knowledgeable agent for those areas. If you need a referral though please let me know! I have trusted partners across the state and across the country I can connect you with.
I work with clients looking for or selling condos, townhomes, single family homes, and new construction homes.
The commission is predetermined between the listing agent and the seller. The commission is not an upfront, cash out of pocket expense for the buyers. It is paid at closing.
I typically start working with my sellers 3-6 months prior to listing. However, I am happy to chat with you any time before you choose to sell, whether that’s two weeks before or an entire year.
I typically start working with my buyers about 30 days prior to starting their search and about 6 months before they are ready to move. However, I have started helping clients prepare to buy a year and a half before they want or need to move.
I’ve worked with many national and local builders. I also work to maintain relationships with many HBAR associated builders that I haven’t had the opportunity to work with yet.
