The Buying Process with Coldwell Banker
Buying a home can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be overwhelming. That's why it's important to have an experienced real estate agent on your side. Here is an overview of the buying process with Coldwell Banker:
1. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
Before you start looking at homes, it's important to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This will give you an idea of how much you can afford to spend on a home and will make the buying process smoother.
2. Find Your Dream Home
Once you know how much you can afford, it's time to start looking for your dream home. I will work with you to identify properties that meet your criteria and schedule showings for you.
3. Make an Offer
When you've found the right home, it's time to make an offer. I will help you draft an offer that meets your needs and submit it to the seller's agent.
4. Negotiate
The seller may accept your offer, reject it, or make a counteroffer. I will work with you to negotiate the best possible deal for you.
5. Home Inspection
After your offer is accepted, you will need to have a home inspection done. This will alert you to any potential problems with the property and give you an opportunity to renegotiate the deal if necessary.
6. Closing
Once all the contingencies have been met, it's time to close on your new home. I will be there to guide you through the process and ensure a smooth closing.
The home buying process can take as little as 1 month or as long as 6 months. It generally takes most buyers 2-4 months to find and close on their new home, but your time frame is up to you. There are a number of steps in the process, and we'll happily help you through everything
If you're ready to start your home buying journey, contact me today. I look forward to helping you find your dream home with Coldwell Banker.

Tim was excellent throughout the entire process. Zero complaints. He was quick to respond, attended all events, was extremely knowledgeable on all subjects, and truly cares about making sure you have a great home buying experience. Highly recommend!
Merci B, Buyer, Austin
Tim went well above and beyond of anything that can be expected of any agent. He was ever present whenever we needed him to see a house, was very knowledgeable about houses and what to look for and pitfalls and he's very well informed of local market.
I have bought houses and sold them in different states and Tim offered the best service that I have witnessed or heard of.
We now consider him a great friend of the family.
Chris C, Buyer, Austin
Tim was an amazing partner in our home search. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the Austin market and was essential in helping us find properties that aligned with what we wanted in a home, at the price range we wanted to be in.
I can't recommend Tim highly enough.
Vicky W, Relocation Buyer, Pflugerville
We really enjoyed working with Tim on purchasing the home when we need to move to this area. Tim is very professional and knowledgeable, has patience but also work excellently when we have a tight schedule. Tim helped walk through all the process and point out every details that need attention. We feel lucky to have Tim as our agent and will definitely recommend him
Rashmi, Relocation Buyer, Leander
If you get him as an agent all your worries would be gone. We are first time home buyers and he guided us thought-out the process. We moved from VA to TX and had no idea about the place/ builders/ neighborhood etc. He was with us through all thick and thin, showed us the properties virtually, guided about the area, helped with home inspection, came to walk through and even at closing. Cherry on the top is even after the closing he is still guiding/ helping us with all our questions. He is an amazing person and cares about his customers like a family. We were fortunate to get him as our agent!
