Find the Right Home — Without the Runaround

Kim follows a clear, proven process designed to help you find the right home, at the right price, with the least stress possible. 

What happens if you choose the wrong agent?

Consider this:

  • 44% of Texas agents have another job, and 54% work part-time (Texas Association of Realtors). That means many agents are juggling other priorities—your dream home isn’t their full-time focus. 

  • 71% of licensed agents didn’t sell a single home in 2024 (Redfin). 

  • Up to 50% of new agents stop producing within two years (National Association of Realtors). 

The wrong advice could cost you thousands. 

Why Work With Kim to Buy?

Because this isn’t the time for guesswork, trial and error, or part-time help. 
You need someone who knows how to win in this market—someone who’s full-time, full-strategy, and fully committed to your success. 

Because the cost of doing nothing—or hiring the wrong help—could follow you for years. 

1. Discovery: Understanding What You Really Want 

Before we ever tour a home, we sit down for an in-depth conversation about your lifestyle, goals, and timeline. Do you need space for kids or pets? Do you entertain often? Want peace and quiet, or something walkable? Are schools, commute time, or resale potential important?  
We cover your must-haves, dealbreakers, preferred monthly payment, and whether this is your forever home, a starter home, or even something you plan to turn into a rental down the line—those details shape the entire strategy. 

2. Pre-Approval: Be Ready to Buy 

Before the fun begins, we make sure you’re financially ready. I’ll connect you with trusted lenders who can get you pre-approved quickly and competitively. 
This not only shows sellers you’re serious when you find your dream home—it also gives us your true buying power so we don’t waste time (or heartbreak) on homes outside your range. 

3. Home Shopping: Touring the Right Homes 

Now the fun begins! I help you find the homes that fit—not just what’s on the MLS, but also off-market opportunities and listings you may have missed. 
I point out red flags, help you compare options, and make sure every showing brings you closer to the one. 

4. Writing the Offer: Smart, Strategic, Competitive 

When you’re ready to make an offer, I do a full market analysis to make sure you’re not overpaying. And I gather all the information I can prior to going in. 
If it’s a multiple-offer situation, I work to build rapport with the listing agent to give you an edge, and craft a strong offer that protects your interests—without stretching your budget. 
I make sure you understand every document before signing, and I negotiate fiercely on your behalf. 

5. The Option Period: Inspect and Evaluate 

I connect you with trusted inspectors. If anything needs a second opinion, I bring in trusted and reliable contractors. 
We review the report together and discuss repair requests or credits—always aiming to protect your investment without jeopardizing the deal. 
If the home turns out to be a money pit? I’ll advise you accordingly and make sure you walk away with your earnest money intact.

6. Closing with Confidence 

I stay hands-on through the finish line. 
I review your HOA docs, title policy, repair receipts, and closing statements. I confirm all agreed repairs are complete and keep you informed every step of the way—so you’re never in the dark and never caught off guard.

“She went above and beyond”

“Kim was very patient with us as first-time home buyers. We ended up having to take a break from house hunting shortly after procuring her services, and she understood completely. When we were ready, she quickly got us back in the saddle scheduling showings and getting us in touch with the right people to make our dreams come true. She went above and beyond, doing research and showing homes way outside her area when she didn't have to. I will recommend her to anyone I know in the greater San Antonio area.”
