First-Time Home Buyer Guide

8 steps to buying your first home in Indianapolis.

Step 01

Get Pre-Approved

Know your real budget and get a pre-approval letter so sellers take you seriously.

Step 02

Decide What You Want

List your must-haves: location, bedrooms, yard, commute, and schools.

Step 03

Protect Your Finances

Avoid new credit cards, big purchases, or job changes before closing.

Step 04

We Team Up

I set up a custom MLS search and give you Kai AI for questions 24/7.

Step 05

Go Tour Homes

See homes that fit your criteria and spot value, red flags, and hidden gems.

Step 06

Make a Strong Offer

I run comps, write the offer, and negotiate terms so you win without overpaying.

Step 07

Inspect & Appraise

A licensed inspector checks the home. The appraisal confirms value for the lender.

Step 08

Close & Move In

Sign, wire funds, and get your keys. Welcome home.
