Home Buying Coarse
Your Step-by-Step Home Buying Roadmap
Clear guidance + honest behind-the-scenes so you always know what’s happening and why.
This course follows the 10 steps on your Quick Buyer Guide, then adds short “what happens in the background” explainers for lenders, underwriting, attorney, earnest money, and escrow.
Note: Processes can vary by loan type and by state. Alabama is a buyer-beware state—inspections are critical. Your specific contract controls deadlines and terms.
IN THIS LESSON
Overview
Choosing the right real estate agent is the very first (and most important) step in your home buying journey. An experienced agent isn’t just here to unlock doors — they act as your guide, advocate, and problem-solver through a complicated process. The right agent will save you time, protect you from costly mistakes, and give you confidence when it comes to making major decisions.
Behind the Scenes
I coordinate with lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and the listing agent so you don’t have to chase down details.
I monitor contract deadlines, negotiate terms, and handle unexpected issues that come up (and they almost always do).
I’m also keeping an eye on market trends so you know whether a home is priced fairly and how aggressive we may need to be in our offer.
Key Points
As your agent, I’ll explain each step in plain English so you always know what’s happening.
I’ll set up a system that alerts us the moment new homes that fit your criteria hit the market.
My job is not to “sell” you a house — it’s to guide and protect you like family.
Tip: Many buyers don’t realize that working with an agent is almost always free to them — in most cases, the seller pays the buyer agent’s commission. (It is always negotiated in our offer.) You can always talk to me more about this.
