Your Path to the Keys
The buying process, step by step
Let's talk
We'll start with a no-pressure conversation about your budget, your timeline, your must-haves, and the parts of Cheyenne you're drawn to.
Get pre-approved
I'll point you to local lenders so you know your price range and are ready to make a strong offer when the right home comes along.
Tour homes
We'll tour homes that fit your list, in person or by live video if you're not in Cheyenne yet, and I'll give you my honest take on each one.
Write a strong offer
I'll pull recent sales so your offer is grounded in real numbers, then negotiate terms that protect you and your budget.
Inspection & appraisal
I'll help you make sense of the inspection report, negotiate repairs, and keep the appraisal and your loan on track.
Closing day & keys
We'll do a final walkthrough, sign the paperwork, and get the keys to your new Cheyenne home in your hands.

No question is too small
I'll explain each step in plain English, from earnest money to closing costs, so you always know what's coming next.
Know your options
Low down payment loans and Wyoming first-time buyer programs may be available to you. We'll talk through what could fit, alongside your lender.
Start building wealth
Every mortgage payment builds equity in a home you own. I'll help you find one that fits your life now and down the road.
Someone in your corner

Buying on a PCS timeline
Orders to F.E. Warren? Welcome to Cheyenne. I'll help you find a home that fits your report date, your BAH, and your family.
Timed to your report date
We'll work backward from your report date so your closing lines up with your move and your family isn't stuck in limbo.
Buy before you arrive
Live video tours, e-signatures, and regular updates make it possible to find your home before you ever drive into town.
Using your VA loan
VA loans can let eligible buyers purchase with no down payment and no PMI. I'll help you write offers that work well with VA financing.
Choosing from a distance
We'll talk through commute times to base, schools, and the feel of each neighborhood so you can choose with confidence from wherever you are.

Buyer FAQs
Buying in Cheyenne: your questions, answered
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on your loan. Some loan types allow a small down payment, and eligible VA buyers may be able to put nothing down. A lender can tell you exactly what you qualify for, and I'm happy to point you to one.
Should I get pre-approved before I start looking?
Yes. A pre-approval tells you what you can comfortably spend and shows sellers you're a serious buyer. It's one of the best ways to make your offer stand out when you find the right home.
How does paying a buyer's agent work?
Before we tour homes together, we'll sign a written buyer agreement that spells out my compensation up front. In many cases, we can ask the seller to cover it as part of your offer. I'll walk you through everything before we start so there are no surprises.
How long does it take to buy a home?
The search can take a few weeks or a few months, and we'll go at your pace. Once your offer is accepted, closing often takes around 30 to 45 days, depending on your loan and the details of your contract.
What other costs should I plan for?
Beyond your down payment, plan for earnest money, a home inspection, the appraisal, and closing costs. Sellers can sometimes help with closing costs, and we can ask for that in your offer.
Can I buy a home before I move to Cheyenne?
Absolutely. With live video tours, e-signatures, and regular updates, many buyers find and close on their home before they arrive. It's a great option for military families on PCS orders and anyone relocating from out of state.
