The plan · day 0 → day 45

Zero to keys in five moves.

No mystery, no surprises. Here is exactly how a first purchase goes with reThought — every step, every deadline, mapped up front.

  1. Step 01

    Pre-approval

    Day 0. Know your budget and monthly payment before you fall in love with a home. We connect you to a trusted local lender.

  2. Step 02

    The search

    Day 1–20. Curated showings that fit your budget, commute, and must-haves. MLS access and saved alerts, not endless Zillow refreshing.

  3. Step 03

    Offer accepted

    ~ Day 21. We negotiate price, credits, and terms in your favor — based on real comps and seller motivation, not hope.

  4. Step 04

    Inspect & appraise

    Day 22–38. Inspection, appraisal, and loan underwriting. We manage every deadline and keep the lender honest.

  5. Step 05

    Keys

    Day 45. Final walkthrough, signing, and the keys to your first home. We stay on call the first month after move-in.

Bilingual REALTORS®·Entendemos español

We guide you step by step. Paso a paso.

Real estate is already a big decision. Doing it in a second language shouldn’t make it harder. Every call, contract, and closing runs in English and Español, so you always know what you’re signing and why.

Same agent from the first tour to the keys. No translator on speakerphone. No confusing handoffs between teams.
