  1. 01

    Build your all-in budget

    Compare principal and interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues and utilities. Get address-specific quotes rather than comparing home prices alone.

  2. 02

    Coordinate work and financing

    Discuss your offer letter, start date, remote-work approval and any income changes with Ana before committing to a closing date.

  3. 03

    Connect the sale and purchase

    Map out sale proceeds, available cash, temporary housing and moving costs. Ask whether a bridge loan or another structure fits your situation.

  4. 04

    Research the exact address

    Check school attendance boundaries, commute times, flood maps, taxes, HOA rules and any special taxing districts for each property.

  5. 05

    Prepare for closing and arrival

    Keep funds traceable and avoid new debt during underwriting. Coordinate insurance, closing arrangements, utilities and your moving schedule.
