Check into what homes are selling for in the areas you’re interested in to give you an idea of what you’re looking for. This will help later on when communicating your wish list with The Jeanie Fraley Team.

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is an essential first step before beginning your home search. Lenders will typically ask for documentation such as recent pay stubs, W-2s or other proof of income, tax returns from the past two years, and statements for credit or loan accounts. It’s always wise to compare options with more than one lender, as rates and programs can vary. 

Keep in mind that the amount you are approved for represents a maximum—your actual purchase should align with your lifestyle, financial goals, and comfort level to ensure your investment is both rewarding and sustainable.

Patience is essential during this stage. The Jeanie Fraley Team will guide you through a variety of homes to better understand your style, priorities, and lifestyle needs. Your detailed feedback helps us refine the search and focus only on properties that truly align with your vision. 

In some cases, finding the right home can take time—months or even longer—so trust the process. By leveraging our team’s network and expertise, we may uncover your dream property even before it becomes available on the market.

Successful negotiations require strategy and experience. As negotiation experts, The Jeanie Fraley Team will be your strongest advocate—protecting your interests, uncovering opportunities, and structuring terms that maximize value while keeping the transaction moving forward smoothly. 

Our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for you, all while fostering a professional and respectful relationships with all parties involved.
