I’m Relocating To Seattle

Welcome to Seattle! We know what it's like to be new in town.

What do I do now?

Here’s a Quick Look at the Process:

Preparing

You talk; we listen.  We begin the process by listening and learning about you and your situation, what your biggest concerns are, and what your ultimate goals are.  Getting to know you will allow us to help you discover which areas may be most appealing to you. Once you’re comfortable with the relocation process, then we’ll talk about what is possible for you, and we will craft a plan that will help you attain your goals.

Figuring out the numbers

If you have not already done so, this is the time to talk with a mortgage professional about your financial situation and figuring out what type and how much of a mortgage you’d like to have.

Searching for homes

We’ll set up a custom home search for you on our website, or directly from our MLS.  This will ping you with new listings that hit the market which may be of interest.  Then, whether we’re going out on a private tour of homes, or you’re walking through open houses on your own, we’ll start to narrow down what type of home, and what neighborhoods are really going to work for you.

Due diligence

Once you’ve found “The One,” our team will help you gather data about the home, so that you can make a sound decision.  If you decide you’d like to go for it, then we’ll help you craft a strong offer.  Once that offer is negotiated and we have a fully signed around contract, we’ll help move you through the next stage, escrow.

Escrow

Escrow is the stage at which we work through all the contingencies of the contract.  This is where we get the home inspected, we apply for the financing, we review documents and information about the home.  We’ll be by your side throughout this process, making sure you are comfortable and informed all along the way.

Closing

The end of the process is sometimes the most stressful. Whether last minute questions for the lender, or we’re waiting for the seller to finish working on an inspection item, or one of a hundred other possibilities, just know that we are there, at your side, advocating for you.  We’ll get there.  Once you sign the papers, it’s almost a done deal.

Keys

Congratulations!  You’re officially homeowners.  On the day of closing (when the money is transferred and the deed is recorded), we will meet up and I will hand you a set of keys.  Then, we will toast to your new beginning here in the Pacific Northwest!
