Home Search – How We Work Together
A good search starts with clear criteria: budget, location, timing and the features that really matter to you. This page explains how I help you look for homes and how the calculators can shape your search.
Step 1 – Budget and Comfort Zone
- Use the calculators to estimate a comfortable payment range.
- Review how DTI, taxes, insurance and HOA fees affect your price point.
- Look at move-in costs and reserves, not just the monthly payment.
Step 2 – Area & Commute
- Preferred cities, school zones or neighborhoods
- Commute distance to work or key locations
- Preferences on HOA, pools, lot size, and type of home
Step 3 – Search Tools
- MLS searches tailored to your criteria
- New construction communities that match your budget
- Options for future rental or investment if that is part of your plan
