When purchasing a home, I always advise buyers to start by getting pre-approved so you understand your true budget and can act quickly when you find the right property. Take time to research neighborhoods, considering not just the home itself but schools, amenities, resale value, and long-term plans. Don’t skip inspections— they protect you from unexpected costs and give you valuable negotiating power. Finally, trust your agent to guide you through the process, advocate for your best interests, and ensure you make a well-informed, confident decision.

When a seller is preparing to purchase a new home, I always advise them to start by understanding their timeline and financial position—knowing when and how their current home will sell is key to making a smooth transition. It’s important to get a clear picture of your net proceeds so you know exactly what you can comfortably afford on your next purchase. Consider whether a contingency, lease-back, or temporary housing plan might give you flexibility during the move. And throughout the process, rely on your agent to coordinate both transactions, negotiate strategically, and keep everything aligned so your sale and purchase come together seamlessly.
