Once you find the perfect property it is time to submit an offer. I will walk you through the Contact of Purchase and Sale so you have a clear understanding of what you are signing.

Moving In

On the day you take possession, we will meet to exchange keys, parking passes, etc and to make sure everything is perfect for you to move in.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear From My Clients

My experience with Shannon Marler was better than I could have imagined. As a first time homebuyer who lives on the other side of the country from my main support system (family and friends to advise with) and single, I was really going into this process alone. IT WAS SCARY. Shannon came at recommendation from other buyers in town and my realtor, and they were all right. Shannon was friendly, time sensitive, educated and thorough. She was able to be flexible with my schedule but also ensuring that meetings and moves were made when they needed to ensure I found the right lender for my mortgage.

Shannon walked me through the lending process and updated me constantly as things progressed. She was able to get me a mortgage that is manageable for my income with a lender that I am extremely happy with.

Shannon is also very personable so she made me feel that no question was off the table to ask and that she was available for an email, chat, or meeting when I needed one. You can tell that Shannon genuinely cares about her clients and enjoys her job as a lifestyle, not just a means of income. Thank you so much Shannon for all of your hard work and help to get me owning my FIRST HOME!
