Buying the place you’ll call Home is a journey that just about every to-be homeowner will undertake. As with any journey, it’s wise to be appropriately prepared. Preparation for this journey includes qualifying and being approved for a loan, having a downpayment, and investing necessary time to make a list of what you want then prioritizing that list. The virtues of patience and flexibility are important as you may connect with your vision immediately — or it may take some time. Below is a map of what the Buyer’s journey looks like in Washington state. A good working relationship with all parties sets the foundation for  a smooth closing.

Denice was a pleasure to work with during my home buying process. Communication was excellent throughout the experience. At first, we spent a few days driving around looking at neighborhoods and properties… at that point, she knew my tastes very well and subsequently would present me with closely matching properties. In this way she helped me to make more efficient use of my time. Through all of it her sense of humor and personality made it a fun process. And we found a great house. – Eric A.
