We’ll make sure you feel like a rock star as you embark on this adventure. Our expert team is here to turn your dream of owning a home in the PNW into reality, giving you personalized support every step of the way.

Step 1: Assess Your Financial Health

Before you dive into house hunting, let’s talk finances. First things first, let’s talk budget—it’s your ticket to a smooth journey to becoming a homeowner. Nailing down your budget and factoring in everything from the home price to closing costs creates a clear financial picture and sets a solid foundation for your home-buying journey. We’ve got your back with all the tips and tricks to get you financially fit!

Step 2: Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

Time to get pre-approved! This golden ticket shows sellers you mean business. Submit your financial info to a lender to see how much you can borrow. Pre-approval gives you a clear budget and a competitive edge. We’ll connect you with trusted lenders who will make this process as smooth as your morning coffee run.

Step 3: Find the Right Real Estate Agent

The right agent makes all the difference. At Lamb & Co., our agents know Snohomish and King County like the back of their hands. They’re dedicated, knowledgeable, and fun! We match you with an agent who gets your needs and can help you find your perfect home.

Step 4: Begin Your Home Search

Now, the fun part—house hunting! Our agents create a tailored home search for you- long gone are the days of pilfering through every listing on Zillow to find the perfect home. When a home catches your eye, our agents take care of scheduling private showings, so all you have to do is arrive and view the home. Finding the right home is a journey, but with us by your side, it’s an exciting one. Remember, patience is key, but the perfect home is worth the wait.

Step 5: Make an Offer and Negotiate

Found your dream home? Let’s make an offer they can’t refuse. Work with your agent to craft a competitive offer with contingencies to protect you. Don’t worry we’ll do the heavy lifting here, making this a stress-free process. Our agents are expert negotiators—think of them as your real estate ninjas, slicing through obstacles to get you the best deal.

Step 6: Home Inspection and Appraisal

Time to dig deep. Hiring a pro to inspect your potential new home and uncover any hidden issues is essential. An appraisal will confirm the home’s value matches your offer. If there are any hiccups, we’ll help you negotiate repairs or adjustments. Our goal? Ensuring your new home is just as perfect as you imagined.

Step 7: Closing on Your Home

You’re almost there! Closing is the final step, where you sign documents, pay closing costs, and finalize your mortgage. We’ll make sure you understand everything and have all the funds ready. Soon enough, you’ll have the keys to your new home in hand. Let the celebrations begin!
