Driven by Community
1: Get Pre-Approved
- The first step is connecting with a trusted lender.
- Don’t have one? I can connect you with local lenders I trust.
- It’s smart to get multiple quotes so you can compare rates and programs.
2: Find a Real Estate Agent
- Work with a local agent (like me!) who knows Michigan’s market.
- I’ll guide you through the process and negotiate on your behalf.
