First-Time Buyers in Cookeville, TN: No Surprises, No Overpaying

Every step explained before it happens, and a price check before you offer.

Your first home in Cookeville

If you're buying your first home in Cookeville, you probably have more questions than answers. "I don't even know what questions to ask" is where most first-time buyers start, and that's fine.

How I help

I explain every step before it happens and answer every question. And I check each home's price against real sales before you offer, using what I know as a licensed appraiser, so you don't get taken advantage of.

Step by step

  1. Talk about what you want and can spend.
  2. Pre-approval, and a buyer representation agreement before the first showing.
  3. Tours, with a price check on each home.
  4. Your offer, about 1% earnest money held by the closing attorney.
  5. A 10-day inspection period, appraisal, and closing.
