Helpful starting points
Questions you may have
What is the first step in a home search?
Start with your budget, financing readiness, timing, and must-haves. Valentina can help organize your search and the questions to discuss with a lender before you begin making offers.
Can I ask for help before I’m ready to move?
Yes. Share what you’re considering and your anticipated timing. An initial conversation can help you understand the next steps without committing to a purchase.
Can you help me compare homes across King, Pierce and Snohomish counties?
Yes. Share your preferred commute, home type, budget and timing. Valentina can help organize a search across county lines, narrow the options with you and arrange tours. Property availability and travel times should be checked for the locations you are considering.
What should I send before we schedule home tours?
Send your preferred areas, price range, bedrooms, property type, timing and any must-haves. Let Valentina know whether you are already working with another real estate broker and where you are in the financing process. This helps make the first set of homes more relevant to you.
