Step 6: Close escrow. Once a contract is signed by all parties we will manage the escrow. During this time it's important to maintain communication, monitor all paperwork and make sure contingencies are removed according to the contract.
The buying process:
Step 1: Consultation. During our first meeting we will listen to your wants and needs and walk you through the buying process.

Step 3: Find a Home. We will help you find a home that fits your wants and needs.
Step 4: Make an Offer. Having found the home of your choice, we will do the necessary research to help you structure an offer. When the Seller responds to your offer, we will explain your options and negotiate on your behalf with the Seller.
Step 5: Manage the Escrow. When all of the conditions of the purchase agreement have been met, you will sign escrow instructions and deposit the balance of your down payment and closing costs to escrow. What is "escrow"?
Step 6: Close Escrow. The ‘escrow closing’ signifies the change of ownership from the Seller to the Buyer and usually includes the execution and recording of the Grant Deed and Deed of Trust.
