Buying with CoCo
Finding and purchasing a home that will meet the needs of you and your family is one of the most important and pivotal moments in your life. Whether you are buying your first property or looking to increase or decrease in size, understanding everything there is to know about the home buying process can be stressful and overwhelming. My goal is to provide you with expert, caring and candid advice throughout the process and answer any questions you may have.
Because there’s no cost to use me. My fees are paid by the seller.
Because you will be my priority. As your buyer’s agent, I have a fiduciary duty to promote your best interest with the utmost good faith and loyalty while protecting your confidences. My clients always come first. You will have direct access to me, and I will be available to you.
Because I will be honest with you. One would say that I am an over communicator, and I don’t shy away from difficult conversations. I am dedicated to being transparent and honest with you throughout the entire process even if it means telling you what you may not want to hear.
Because as a homeowner myself, I was twice where you are. Not only do I understand the entire process of buying a home from the buyer’s point of view, but I also understand how important it is to have someone on your side who represents you and has your best interest at heart.
From your initial inquiry, I take the time to learn what is important to you in your dream home. I go over your wants and needs, locations and timeline, and I focus on asking the right questions such as: What do you envision your neighborhood to look like? Do you prefer an HOA or not? Do you have a particular school district in mind? How long of a commute would you like to have? Then during our follow up, I walk you through the buyer process with a customized buyer presentation that includes viable options that meet those criteria.

New Construction
Most buyers are under the impression that a realtor is not needed when purchasing a newly constructed home, but this couldn’t be further from the truth!
When you arrive at the model home in a new construction development you will likely be greeted by a welcoming salesperson who is there to represent the builder. These salespersons are great at what they do and are very knowledgeable in their field but again, they represent the builder, not you.
Having a real estate agent that represents you through the new build process is key to ensuring that you have an invaluable resource to help you make informed decisions and most importantly help you understand all the information that will be presented to you.
Having been down the exciting road of buying new construction twice, I will be able to provide you with realistic expectations and a seamless process.
I will assist you with:
- Helping you choose the best model and lot location to suit you and your family’s needs.
- Determining what upgrades and modifications are absolutely necessary to help you stay within your budget.
- Choosing colors patterns and designs to create a beautifully decorated home.
- Understanding builder contracts and terms.
- Hiring an independent inspector to complete an inspection of the home.
- And so much more!
Are you thinking of buying new construction? Don’t do it alone, let’s do it together!
