Finding Your Dream Home

No matter the type of home or investment you’re looking to make, I am committed to giving you my honest opinion and expertise. Buying a home is exciting and fun, but can feel stressful and overwhelming. My job is to make it as easy on you as possible, while guiding you toward the home that will fit all your needs and wants!
How & When to
Buy a Home

When it comes to buying a home, my job is to educate you about all there is to look for in a home, and what is fair market value for this home. Whether you’re looking to purchase a single-family home, condo, or rental property, there are a lot of things to consider. The first and most important step is to find out if you are ready to buy a home financially. There are many excellent resources online to help you figure out how much you can afford. Your mortgage lender will look at such factors as: Gross Income, Front-End Ratio which is your mortgage-to-income ratio, and Back-End Ratio which is your debt-to-income ratio. Your credit score is also a factor and will additionally influence your annual percentage rate (APR) of your loan.
As an experienced real estate agent, I can point you to trusted vendors who can help in this process. We have a great team of individuals for the entire buying process, and can recommend them to you.

How To Choose
The Right Home

There is so much to learn. A home tells the story, how was it cared for? Did they maintain it with upgrades before they were necessary or did they wait until things were at the end of its life and leaking or broken?
It’s important to not only make your decision on how you feel about a particular home. A home buyer should use their heart AND their head to determine whether a property fits their needs. Before starting your search, you should list out what features you absolutely MUST have, without compromise. Similarly, you should also list out features you’d LIKE to have, but that are not deal breakers.
While one home may have the right number of bedrooms and be exquisite, the square footage may be too little (or too big!) for you. Would you be willing to exchange closet space for a gourmet kitchen? Or have a three-season porch but no first-floor bathroom? Being prepared to assess a property in this way lets you quickly determine what’s worth your time to look at and put an offer on.


Getting the Process Started
Working With Amber and Her Team
The initial conversation begins with: have you spoken to a lender to see what type of loan you qualify for? If not, we have a great team of individuals we keep around us for the entire buying process that we can recommend. What I have learned through the years is, you are only as good as the company you keep around you, which is why I have the best of the best!
Searching For A Home
We set up a search for you once we know the parameters of what you are looking for. For example, once the loan type is determined – how much are you looking to spend per month including taxes and insurance? From there we can get out and start viewing homes, at which point it is my job to teach you what to look for when buying. For example, grading – is the land sloping towards or away from the home? What are the age of the windows? Are they single paned or thermal? Age of the roof? Is there any curling of the shingles, so on and so forth.
Making An Offer
Once we have found the one and it’s time to make an offer, that’s when the real timelines and dates happen.
- Details of the contract and necessary documentation needed
- Deposit – what is an acceptable amount to be held?
- Financing and commitment date
- Inspection companies, dates, and fees
- What to expect that could come up, how negotiations could look, and what happens if we can’t come to an agreement
- Recommendations for local attorneys
After The Sale
My clients know I am here for them always. I am not an agent that once the transaction closes, you no longer hear from me. I am and will always be there for you regardless of the time that passes. Even when it comes to renovations and options, we have vendor lists that we provide to our clients. I am also here to help with choices when it comes to updating or upgrades to your home. Feel free to pick my brain so I can share some insight in regards to what will get you a better return for resale.

She's ALWAYS available and goes above and beyond. I was overwhelmed with putting my house on the market and everything I had to do prior to actually doing so. She was there every step of the way. She's a bright light in these dark times and it shines through in all she does. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and I wouldn't have been able to pull this off with anyone BUT her!

Next my sister and I had to sell my moms place now that was a nightmare but she guided us threw expertly. Even when I started to go a little crazy. I mean I was scrubing down all the walls. She again set me straight. Her and her team made sure we got the best deal possible on my moms place it wasn't in the best of shape and she was honest about it. No sugar coating or hiding facts even to the new buyers. If I could give her a billion stars on a review I would. She has done more than I would have would ever asked of anyone to make sure that my mom and I would be all set.
So when I say you need not look any further to find the best realtor anywhere on this planet I mean it. I send out prayers that she gets back 10 fold what she's put out to others. She really deserves it. She will have your back too. read less
We've been looking at homes for a while now, and Amber has been nothing but patient showing us many homes. We finally found the home of our dreams. Amber helped us jump on it even when it went off the market to be re-listed later. Amber was fast, responsive, and very knowledgeable. She updated us during the whole process. Especially being a first time home buyer it was a little nerve wracking, but she made it go so smooth! Best realtor ever!

She helped us through the entire process of buying a house. She is very professional, honest and knowledgeable. She is very dedicated and patient when it comes to help you find the right house.

And for last but not least, she didn’t make us feel like “one more client”, she really gets to know you and earn your trust. It was a great experience. We would highly recommend her to anyone we know! read less

I had no idea what I was getting into looking at houses for the first time. I would see something that looked nice in pictures and Amber would have no problem ripping it apart when we got there - in a good way. She would inspect the roofs, the foundations, the furnaces, water pumps, everything. She would walk around the house and pull out the siding to look at what was going on underneath. She took a personal interest to make sure I wasn't going to end up in a fixer upper, a money pit, or something with hidden costs.
She coached me and guided me through the entire process. Looking at houses she would tell me what could or couldn't be rehabbed and estimated costs. Every question I had she (or her assistant) answered within an hour, day, night, or weekend. I felt like I was going through this process with a friend giving me honest advice, who wanted to make sure I was happy and ended up in the right house for me, and I could not be more pleased with the whole experience.
