How we work with buyers

Our 5-Step Approach to Homeownership

Here is what buying with Rooster Homes looks like.Watch the house come together as you read.

  1. Step 1

    Meet

    We sit down together and learn your goals, your timeline and what home means to you.

  2. Step 2

    Understand

    We look at your budget, your financing and your must-haves, and we set the pace that fits your life.

  3. Step 3

    Explain the market

    You see what homes are selling for, how fast they sell and what that means for your offer.

  4. Step 4

    Walk the whole process

    We guide you from tours and your offer through inspections, appraisal and closing. You know each step before it arrives, with weekly updates through closing.

  5. Step 5

    Connect

    We connect you with the professionals you need along the way, and we stay part of your life after you get your keys.

From offer to keys

Protect your loan until closing

Do

  • Call your lender before you move any money
  • Keep paying every bill on time
  • Send your lender every page they ask for

Don't
