  1. Find a Qualified Buyers Representative  (that would be me)
  2. Assess Your Credit and Finances
  3. Assess Your Wants and Needs
  4. Shop for a Home
  5. Negotiate Terms
  6. Obtain a Mortgage
  7. Prepare for the Close (Transfer Ownership)
  8. Close
  9. Move
  10. Celebrate

Contact me via email or phone for your copy of the toolkit, as an Accredited Buyer Representative I’ve taken additional coursework to prepare me to professionally represent your needs. No better time than now with the extension and expansion of tax credits through April 30, 2010.
