Many first-time home buyers have a wide variety of questions about the home-buying process. We are patient and can explain all about:

- closing costs
- credit questions
We can clearly explain all of the steps of the home buying process, and what to expect.
I can find a home online just fine, what do I need a buyers agent for?
First, of all, using a buyer’s agent won’t cost you any extra money! It won’t affect the cost of your home, as almost all owners factor in the cost of a buyers agent into the price of the house. Even if you want to look for houses on your own, and don’t need us tagging along to open houses, let us provide you with the services of a real esate professional who is there purely to protect your interests.
I just filled out a “how much can you afford” calculator, and it seems like I can’t afford anything
Many of these online calculators provide a “worst-case” scenario to protect their liability. We have connections to some of the best mortgage people in the Twin Cities, and can get you set up to see them.
Making a complex transaction simple
A real estate transactions usually involves a variety to details to make sure that everthing goes smooth. We can assist you in taking care of many of these details, from finding great home inspectors and providers of homeowners/hazard insurance providers.
