No mysteries. No surprises. Here is exactly what happens from day one to key day.
Know your budget before you browse.
Before we tour a single home, we connect you with a trusted lender to get pre-approved. This tells us exactly what you can afford, strengthens your offers, and identifies any assistance programs you qualify for. No guessing, just real numbers.
Tell us your must-haves, nice-to-haves, and deal-breakers.
We sit down (or hop on a call) and build your wish list -- location, size, features, deal-breakers. Then we set up automated searches so you see every matching home the moment it hits the market. You will never miss a listing.
We schedule, you explore. No pressure.
We schedule showings around your life, not ours. During every tour, Cory points out things you might miss -- foundation issues, outdated systems, flip-quality finishes, neighborhood trends. You get an expert eye, not just a door opener.
Cory crafts a competitive offer that protects your interests.
When you find the one, we craft a competitive offer backed by market data. Cory handles all negotiations -- price, repairs, closing costs, timelines -- to protect your interests and get you the best possible deal.
Jenni coordinates every deadline so nothing falls through the cracks.
Jenni coordinates inspections, appraisals, lender requirements, and title work. You will know exactly where things stand at every step. On closing day, we hand you the keys and celebrate together.
Most buyers do not know these exist. We make sure you never leave money on the table.
Utah's Senate Bill 240 provides up to $20,000 in down payment assistance for qualifying first-time buyers. Income limits and property requirements apply. We will check your eligibility on our first call.
The Utah Housing Corporation offers down payment assistance loans of 4-6% that can cover your down payment and closing costs. Available for FHA, VA, and conventional loans with competitive rates.
Active duty military, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses may qualify for a $2,500 grant toward home purchase. Can be combined with VA loan benefits and other programs.
Qualifying law enforcement officers can receive up to $25,000 toward a home purchase in specific areas. This program supports officers buying in the communities they serve.
Stackable: Programs are stackable -- you may qualify for more than one. Cory has helped buyers combine multiple programs to maximize savings.
Think you don’t need an agent for new construction? Think again.
Builder model homes are designed to impress. The sales reps are friendly, professional, and eager to help. But here is the reality: they work for the builder, not for you. Their job is to maximize the builder's profit. Your job is to maximize your value. That is where we come in.
“You will save money by not using an agent.”
The builder does not lower the price because you show up without representation. The commission is already built into the home's price. By skipping an agent, you are leaving that money on the builder's side of the table instead of using it to fund your own representation.
“The builder's agent will look out for your interests.”
The builder's sales rep has a fiduciary duty to the builder. They cannot negotiate against their own employer on your behalf. You need someone whose only obligation is to you.
“There is nothing to negotiate on new construction.”
We routinely negotiate upgrades, lot premiums, rate buy-downs, closing cost contributions, and design center credits. Builders have flexibility -- they just do not advertise it.
“The base price is the final price.”
Builders advertise base prices that rarely include the finishes, lot premiums, or structural options most buyers want. By the time you finish at the design center, the real cost can be 15-25% higher. We help you budget accurately from day one.

This calculator doesn't include down payment assistance, rate buydowns, or seller concessions. Let's find what's actually possible.
It depends on the loan type. FHA loans require as little as 3.5% down, VA loans offer 0% down for qualifying veterans, and conventional loans start at 3-5%. Plus, Utah assistance programs can cover some or all of your down payment. We will help you figure out the real number on our first call.
In most transactions, yes. The seller typically pays the buyer agent's commission as part of the listing agreement. You get full representation -- market analysis, negotiations, contract management -- at no direct cost. We always disclose exactly how compensation works before you commit.
From accepted offer to closing, the typical timeline is 30-45 days. The total process including home search varies based on your market and criteria. Some clients find their home in a week; others take a few months. We match your pace.
Absolutely. Pre-approval tells you exactly what you can afford, identifies assistance programs, and makes your offers stronger. Sellers take pre-approved buyers more seriously. It is always our first step.
We strongly recommend having your own agent for new construction. Builder sales reps work for the builder, not you. We negotiate upgrades, lot premiums, rate buy-downs, and closing costs that buyers typically miss when walking in unrepresented. And it costs you nothing extra.
We packed every program, deadline, strategy, and “wish I’d known that” moment into one free guide. The same playbook our clients use to save thousands and skip the stress.
Free. No strings. Just a guide that actually helps.
