Shelly was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and made the experience easier and more enjoyable. Helped guide us through the process and went above and beyond clarifying and checking things for us as it was the first time we had bought in Indiana.

Shelly Grimm was amazing to deal with. From meeting with her on super short notice, to abrupt changes in offers, to navigating the inspection, and finally to getting the deal done. She worked great with our mortgage company, insurance company, and title company to make sure everything was ready to go. Even when things got tough she helped navigate us through it all. Thanks for all your hard work and great communication the whole way through.

Shelly was amazing during the entire homebuying process, from start to finish, and still continues to check in with me to ensure that things are going well with my new home experience! I truly appreciate the responsiveness, caring and understanding that was displayed from Shelly. She truly made this experience less intimidating and made me feel so comfortable, providing insight regarding everything that was going on, making it feel more like a supportive friend there with me on this journey and not just like another business transaction/sale.I will recommend Shelly to anyone who is looking to buy/sell a home, and would love to work with Shelly in the future, if that time comes down the line, to sell/buy again. Thank you so much, Shelly!

Loyalty

This custom presentation that I’ve shared with you is an example of the care and effort I put into each of my best clients. I recognize that real estate transactions are one of the largest financial transactions of your life and it deserves careful consideration and wise planning. In light of this, you should feel strongly that mutual respect and understanding are key components of hiring me to help you accomplish real results starting right away.

Reviewing each other’s roles and responsibilities as we embark on the next steps together is how we can decide if we are ready to move forward together.

Processes

1

Consultation

We’ll sit down together and help you determine your needs wants and goals while offering my personal industry expertise and strategies for bringing your vision to life.
Image

2

Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.
Image

3

Property tours

After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.
Image

4

Write offer

Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
Image

5

Under Contract or Escrow

With your offer accepted, we enter a 30-day Escrow period. This involves a neutral third party company that holds funds while conducting a thorough underwriting process to ensure all aspects of the contract are upheld properly
Image

6

Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
Image

7

Inspections

Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
Image

8

Closing

Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.
