Buying a home in Lubbock

What working with me looks like

We start with a conversation. Budget, must-haves, timeline — fifteen minutes is usually enough for me to know what to look for. From there I line up homes that fit, including off-market opportunities you would not find on your own.

Once you are under contract, the details become mine to manage: the offer, the negotiation, the inspection, and every deadline between then and closing. If something turns up in the inspection, I have a network of contractors I use and trust, and I would rather get a repair quoted and handled than watch a good deal fall apart over something fixable.

I will not steer you toward more house than you should take on. If a home is wrong for you, I will tell you.

What happens after you reach out

I will call or email you back, usually the same day. That first conversation is not a pitch. It is me understanding where you are and what you are trying to do.

If you are six months out, that is a good time to start — it gives us room to get your financing in order and to learn the neighborhoods without rushing. If you are ready this week, we can be looking at homes quickly.

What to have ready

Nothing at all is required to start a conversation. When you are ready to look seriously, these help: a sense of your price range, and a pre-approval letter if you have one; the areas you are considering, or the things that matter more than area, like a commute, a lot size, or a garage; your timeline, even a rough one; and whether you have a home to sell first, since that changes the order of things.

I am not a lender, so questions about rates, loan programs, and what you qualify for are best answered by one. I am glad to make the introduction.
