Buying a house here, start to finish.
Six steps, plain. If any of it is new to you, call and we will walk you through it on the phone.
Talk to a lender first
A pre-approval letter tells you what you can spend and tells sellers you are serious. Any local bank or mortgage lender can do it; ask us for names if you need them.
Look on your own, as much as you like
The home search on this site shows every home on the Greater Alabama MLS that the seller allows online. No sign-up, no texts you didn’t ask for.
Sign a short buyer agreement before we tour
Since August 2024, every REALTOR® has to have a written agreement with a buyer before showing them a house. It says what we do for you and what, if anything, you pay us. We go over it with you, and the amount is negotiable.
See the houses
Pick the ones you like and we line up the showings. If you are coming from out of town, we can fit several into one day.
Make an offer
We pull what similar houses sold for, help you decide on a price and terms, and handle the back and forth with the seller’s agent.
Inspection, appraisal, closing
You hire the inspector, your lender orders the appraisal, and we keep everyone on schedule until you get the keys.
Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable.
