Buying a home is exciting… until you fall in love with a house online and find out it’s already under contract. 😅
In this video, I break down the entire home buying process step by step, and share what I wish I knew before buying my first home.
If you're thinking about buying in the next 6–12 months (or even just “looking”), this will help you avoid stress, delays, and costly mistakes.
🏡 What You’ll Learn:
✔️ What to do before you ever tour a house
✔️ Why meeting with an agent early gives you an advantage
✔️ The importance of getting pre-approved (and why it’s non-negotiable)
✔️ How the offer process really works
✔️ Attorney review & home inspection explained
✔️ What earnest money is
✔️ What happens during underwriting
✔️ What “clear to close” actually means
✔️ What to expect on closing day
👋 About Me
Hi, I’m Heather Dunham - a real estate agent serving buyers in Western New York, including the greater Rochester area.
My goal is to educate and prepare you so you can move confidently, not feel pressured.
The buyers who win homes in competitive markets aren’t the fastest, they’re the most prepared.
📌 Why This Matters
Many buyers wait until they find “the one” to start the process… and by then, they’re already behind.
Understanding the steps ahead of time means:
• Stronger offers
• Less stress
• Fewer surprises
• More negotiating power
Preparation is everything in this market.
