- 01
Get clear on budget
Walker connects you with a lender for a real pre-approval, so your offer looks solid to sellers from day one.
- 02
Choose your towns
Commute, schools and price narrow the list fast. Walker checks school boundaries and taxes for each specific home.
- 03
Tour with someone honest
You'll hear what Walker actually thinks of each house, including the issues a listing photo won't show.
- 04
Write an offer that wins
Recent comparable sales set your price. Terms like financing, earnest money and dates help you stand out without overpaying.
- 05
Inspection to closing
Walker coordinates the inspection, your attorney, lender and title so closing day is uneventful.
