How we work together
We begin with your goals, must-haves, budget and timeline. I help connect you with mortgage professionals who can explain conventional, FHA, USDA or VA financing. Then we tour, write an offer and work through inspections to closing. My office at 11 S High Street is a short drive away for any meeting. See my buying page.
Look beyond the surface
I help you understand inspections and due diligence, including drainage, flood zones, easements and utilities. In a subdivision, we also read the HOA fee and the rules, and in a new build we read the builder contract. The town's one school district is the Canal Winchester Local School District.
