Inventory’s Up. Homes are on the move. Let’s Keep It Simple.

You’ve probably noticed it too — listings are popping up more than they have in months. Maybe it’s spring. Maybe it’s tariffs. Maybe it’s just that spring glow, after all, this is probably the greenest most lawns will be for the rest of the year.

Whatever the reason, there’s more inventory out there, and that means more opportunities to find something that actually fits your lifestyle — and your budget.

But the minute you start scrolling Realtor, it gets real fast. And that’s where most people make their first misstep.

Step 1: A 10-Minute Call with Me
Hi, I’m Andrew — and if we haven’t met yet, I’m the guy who helps people figure out how much house they can actually afford without it becoming a spreadsheet-induced panic attack.

Before you fall in love with granite countertops or mountain views, we take a few minutes to figure out what price range you should actually be shopping in — based on real numbers, real lenders, and your real life.

And here’s where I do things differently than the banks: If rates drop while you’re house hunting, I can pivot — and help you take advantage of that.

Big banks? Not so much. They’ll lock you in and wish you the best.

Step 2: Fall in Love Anyway
Let’s be honest — most people call me after they’ve already found The One™.

It usually starts with:

Totally fine. Happens all the time. The good news? I’m great in high-stress, last-minute, “did we mess this up?” situations. But if we’ve already done Step 1, we’re playing with a serious head start.

Step 3: From Offer to Keys (This Part’s on Me)
Once your offer is accepted, I get to work. I’ll match you with a lender who fits your goals — not just the lowest rate today, but with low penalties in case we want to refinance down the line.

Most people don’t realize this, but the fine print matters. A lower rate with a huge penalty later can end up costing you more — and that’s why having someone in your corner who actually reads the fine print (and understands it) makes a big difference.

I’ll handle approvals, appraisals, and lender back-and-forth so you don’t get buried in paperwork. I’ll keep things moving so you can focus on the fun stuff — like planning furniture or figuring out how many plants can reasonably fit in your new living room.

Buying a home is a big move, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Whether you’re just starting or already deep in your Realtor’s DMs, I’m here to help you make smart, confident moves.
