Home / Buying with me

Buying your first home, or your next one, in Tacoma and Gig Harbor

A 20-minute call to set the budget and the must-haves, tours that fit your week, and plain talk about what a house will cost to own.

Budget first
I connect you with two or three local lenders so you can compare, then we set a price ceiling you are comfortable with, not the most the bank will lend.
Tours that respect your time
Evening and weekend tours, video walk-throughs when you cannot get there, and an honest note on every house before you drive out.
What you are really buying
Roof age, drainage, sewer line, the street at night. I point out what the listing photos leave out.
Writing an offer that lands
Price is one lever. Close date, inspection terms and a clean loan file often matter as much, and I explain each one.

Questions about buy

Do I pay you as a buyer?

We agree how I am paid in a written buyer agreement before we tour. Often the seller covers some or all of it; we talk through every case up front.

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan. Your lender gives you the real number; I make sure the house fits it.

Start with your address. Nate calls with a number and a plan.
