What separates buyers who get a great deal from buyers who overpay? Most people jump into their search too fast, get emotionally attached, and end up chasing what looks pretty instead of what holds value. I’ll walk through the exact five-step process I use with my clients, from online market education and building a non-negotiable list to running a round-robin comparison of every home that fits. You'll also learn why I present every offer directly to the sellers in person, and how that one step can save you thousands. Watch my video to see the full process before you start your search.
