Processes
1
Consultation
We’ll sit down together and help you determine your needs wants and goals while offering my personal industry expertise and strategies for bringing your vision to life.
2
Pre-Approval
Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.
3
Property tours
After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.
4
Write offer
Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
5
Under Contract or Escrow
With your offer accepted, we enter a 30-day Escrow period. This involves a neutral third party company that holds funds while conducting a thorough underwriting process to ensure all aspects of the contract are upheld properly
6
Appraisal
The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
7
Inspections
Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
8
Closing
Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.

When we hired Shelly, we told her to be patient with us , because we were very particular in our search. She was the most patient, kind and very informative realtor I've ever had to deal with. Shelly checked in on me as I was dealing with health issues, she made me feel like I mattered and it wasn't only about another sale. I will always recommend her because she cares and is very professional.
Shelly was so outstanding! She held our hands in a time of anxiety and nerves, calmed us, provided long hrs of support and kindness! If I could give 100stars, she’d definitely deserve it!
I have bought and sold many properties and by far Shelly stands out in professionalism and care. She looked out for me in many ways which others won't ! I will definitely work with her again. The best !!
Shelly was great to work with, her communication and can-do attitude helped tremendously in the sale of our property. Even when we hit a few bumps with the sale, Shelly was able to guide us through. Overall, I would recommend Shelly as a seller's agent.
My family and I recently worked with Shelly to find a home in the quick paced housing market.
Shelly was extremely helpful during our home buying process by staying one step ahead us showing new options daily.
I highly recommend working with her!
