What happens at each step
1. Orientation
We start with a conversation about where you are today and where you want to be. There is no pressure and no cost to talk.
2. Readiness
We look at what lenders will look at: credit, income documents, savings and monthly budget. If something needs work, you leave with a clear, dated plan.
3. Financing
We help you connect with lending resources so you can pursue a pre-approval and understand your real monthly payment, including taxes and insurance.
4. Search
Once you are ready, we search for homes that fit your budget and your life, and we explain what to look for in Rochester's older housing stock.
5. Offer
We prepare and negotiate your offer and walk you through every contract deadline, so you understand your earnest money, inspection and attorney review.
6. Closing
We guide you through the final walk-through and closing day so you know what to bring and what to check before you sign.
7. Stability
Ownership is the start, not the finish. We stay available for questions about budgeting, maintenance and building equity over time.
