This is big. Take a breath.

Taking your first step into the real estate market can feel overwhelming. It’s the biggest purchase of your life—and everywhere you turn, someone has a different opinion. Market reports say one thing, social media says another, and friends and family all have their own advice.

7 Steps to buying a home

"Working with Matt & Melissa was an absolute game-changer in our journey to becoming first time home buyers. Their expertise, dedication, and understanding of the market made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

From our very first meeting, they took the time to understand our needs and went above and beyond to find the perfect home for us... We felt supported every step of the way, and their professionalism made all the difference..."

How does all of this work?

What's the process? Where should I start (mortgage, home style, location)?
How do I figure out how much I can afford?
If I use a Realtor, who pays them?

You might be asking yourself...

Who can I trust?

Do I need a mortgage broker or should I talk to my bank?
What's the deal with online mortgage options?
Should I use an agent? If so, how do I know which to choose?

We cannot recommend Matthew highly enough. He negotiated and sold our home at over asking within five days of being on the market. He arranged to have a fantastic stager come to our home and had a videographer and photographer take gorgeous photos and video. He is a pleasure to work with and we are so pleased!

Andrea L. & Kevin L.

Matt was recommended by our friends. He was personable when we first met and made us feel comfortable. He answered our questions, offered sound advice, was accommodating in terms of seeing houses and was knowledgeable about the properties. We would definitely recommend Matthew to others and will use his services if we decide to sell.

Pat Z. & Joe K.

Matthew provided excellent service. He was very knowledgeable on the market and was accommodating in helping us prepare our house to get the best price for our property. I would recommend Matthew to anyone looking to sell their home.
