Finding Home in Central Oregon
Embolden Real Estate Will Take You All the Way From "We're Just Looking" to "I Can't Believe We Get to Live Here!"
We will use our extensive knowledge of the local market, coupled with our commitment to honesty, respect, and top-tier service, making us your perfect ally in buying the home for you.
We would love to treat you to coffee and discuss your goals! We can go over the home-buying process together and explore how we can support you every step of the way to make your dreams a reality.
We’ll connect you with an experienced local lender to kickstart the pre-approval process or secure proof of funds for a cash offer. This will help you establish a clear budget as we begin your home search.
We'll take the time to understand your preferences inside and out. Our commitment goes beyond just reviewing the active market—we will also network with other agents to uncover upcoming opportunities. We will research everything from resale homes and new construction to FSBO (For Sale by Owner) and "coming soon" listings. Together, we’ll tour potential homes and discuss the pros and cons to find the perfect fit for you.
Once we find a home you love, we'll review comparable properties and strategize a competitive offer that aligns with the current market conditions. If you're using a loan, we'll coordinate with your lender to provide a detailed breakdown of closing costs and monthly payments. Negotiation is our specialty, and we’ll proactively advocate on your behalf to secure the property.
Congratulations on having your offer accepted! We'll "open escrow" with a neutral third party, establish key timelines and due dates, and guide you through submitting your earnest money deposit.
During this phase, we'll guide you through scheduling all necessary inspections and work to negotiate and address any issues that may come up. Your lender will also arrange for an appraisal to ensure everything is on track.
Your lender will submit all of your documents to escrow so we can get the “all clear” for you to take the next step with confidence.
Your escrow officer will arrange a convenient time for you to come into the office to sign your escrow paperwork. If you're out of the area, we can easily coordinate with a mobile notary to handle the signing.
Your lender will complete a final review and release the funds, after which escrow will officially release to record the transaction with the county.
Congratulations! All your hard work has paid off. Welcome home!
"I worked with Alex over the course of *three years* while we worked to buy a home. She was with us for every check-in, every signature, every last-minute phone call. I truly could not have done any part of this without her excellent guidance and I would recommend her to anyone even thinking about buying a house. I felt so important and cared for from the moment I reached out to her, and now l'm a homeowner! I can't give Alex enough praise."
