Home / Buying a home

Buying a home in Gig Harbor, the Key Peninsula or Tacoma

A budget you are comfortable with, a short list that fits it, and plain talk about what a house will cost to own once you are in it.

Budget first
We start with your lender's numbers and your own. I would rather you buy the house you can enjoy than the most house you can borrow for.
A short list, not a feed
I send you the homes that fit, with a note on each: what is good, what to check, and what similar homes have sold for lately.
Inspections that match the house
Wells and septic on the Key Peninsula, sewer lines in North Tacoma, bulkheads on the water. Each house gets the inspections it needs.
Offer to keys
We write a clean offer, I negotiate the repairs, and I tell you what is happening before you have to ask.

Common questions

Do you work with first-time buyers?

Yes. We go slower at the start so every step makes sense before you sign it.

Can I buy before I sell?

Sometimes. It depends on your loan and your savings. We will look at the options with your lender before you choose.
