Working with me / Step by step

How it works.

Every transaction is a little different. This is the path I follow with my clients, from the first conversation to the closing table.

Buying with me, in eight steps

  1. A first conversation

    I start with your goals, budget and timing, and the towns or buildings on your list.

  2. Pre-approval

    I connect you with a lender early, so you know your price range and sellers see a ready buyer.

  3. Touring homes and buildings

    I schedule showings around you, compare towns and buildings side by side and point out the details worth a closer look.

  4. Submitting an offer

    I prepare your offer with recent comparable sales in hand, then negotiate price and terms on your behalf.

  5. Attorney review period

    Once both sides sign, a New Jersey contract enters a three business day attorney review, when either attorney can propose changes or cancel.

  6. Under contract

    The home inspection, appraisal and your mortgage commitment move forward, and I keep every deadline on track.

  7. Final walkthrough

    Shortly before closing, you see the home again to confirm it is in the condition the contract calls for.

  8. The closing

    You sign the final documents, the funds transfer and you receive the keys to your new home.

Selling with me, in eight steps

  1. Pricing your home

    I review recent sales and current competition near you to recommend a list price grounded in the data.

  2. Preparing your home

    Before any photos, I guide decluttering, staging and the preparation that helps a home show at its best.

  3. Photos and video

    I work with respected photographers and videographers to capture the home for its listing and marketing.

  4. Marketing to the right buyers

    Paid ads, social media, Facebook Marketplace and groups, and my network of buyers' agents, aimed at likely buyers, such as owners in higher-tax towns.

  5. Listing and showings

    Listed on NJMLS and the Keller Williams MLS, which syndicates to Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com. Open houses and private tours are advertised separately, at the same time.

  6. Fielding offers and negotiations

    I walk you through each offer, from price to financing and timing, and negotiate for the strongest terms.

  7. Attorney review period

    The signed contract enters New Jersey's three business day attorney review, when the attorneys can propose changes before it is final.

  8. Under contract to closing

    I manage the hurdles in between: inspections, the appraisal, contract terms and the buyer's financing.
