Thinking of Buying Real Estate in Wisconsin?

The Madison metro area is a GREAT place to buy a home. Consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the Midwest, Madison offers affordable housing, numerous amenities, and a small town feel. 

The surrounding cities of Madison are all great places to live as well.  Places like Waunakee, Deforest, Cottage Grove, Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, and Verona have seen some of the highest population growth in the last 10 years. In fact, 6 of the top 10 most moved to places in Wisconsin are cities in the Madison Metro Area.

Let me help you in purchasing your home in Wisconsin.

Step 1: Buyer Consultation

It is best for us to get together to meet and learn more about your wants and needs in your next home. This can be done either over the phone or in person. This is a great way to learn more about the market as a whole, and for us to get to know each other, and to start to build a relationship.

Step 2: Obtain Preapproval/Proof of Funds

This is the most important step. If you plan on obtaining financing to purchase your home, you will need to obtain a preapproval letter from a financial institution prior to us seeing any homes in person. If you are a cash buyer, you will need to obtain a proper proof of funds letter from your bank.

Step 4: Write an Offer

Once you have found a home you like, we will work together in drafting an offer that you are comfortable with. I will offer advice, but I will never force you into making an uncomfortable decision.

My goal is to provide you with the most personalized service that is designed to help you buy your dream home

Step 5: Work Through Contingencies

After your offer is accepted, we will work through any and all contingencies. This can include things such as your home inspection, loan commitment, and appraisal contingencies. This will last anywhere from 14-60 days depending on your offer.

Step 6: Closing

Congratulations! You are officially the homeowner. Welcome to your new home!

Congratulations!

After signing the final paperwork to complete the purchase, you are now the owner of a new house. It may take a few days for your loan to be funded once the paperwork has been returned to the lender, but once that check is delivered to the seller, you’ll be all set to move into the home of your dreams.
