The Roots buyer blueprint

A clear path before you ever tour a home.

Most renters get stuck because they do not have a plan. Here is the route from rent to keys, at a pace you can actually live with, with Frankie alongside you.

Take the 2-minute quiz

Start with the quiz to see where you stand, or skip straight to a conversation. No pressure either way.

  1. Step 01

    Readiness assessment

    A two-minute honest read

    A quick check across the things that actually decide whether buying feels realistic right now. No email needed to see your score.

    You leave with a clear score and the one area to focus on first.

  2. Step 02

    Initial consultation

    Coffee and a conversation

    We meet somewhere easy and talk through what you want, what feels scary, and what pace fits your life. Frankie listens first.

    You leave with a personal plan, a realistic timeline, and room to ask questions before any move.

  3. Step 03

    Pre-approval

    Comfort over max approval

    Frankie connects you with a trusted local lender so you can find the payment that feels comfortable.

    No lender picked yet? That is fine. Frankie will introduce you to a local lender who explains the numbers in plain English, with no pressure.

    You leave with a monthly number you can actually live with.

  4. Step 04

    Needs vs wants

    The conversation that saves you weeks

    We sort the non-negotiables from the nice-to-haves before listing alerts start pulling you in every direction.

    You leave with neighborhood and home priorities that make showings clearer.

  5. Step 05

    Finding your home

    Now the search begins

    Search, tours, offers, inspection, and closing all happen with the plan already underneath us.

    You leave with a clearer path to your first home.

Anytime you are ready

Talk it through with Frankie.

You do not have to finish the steps in order, and you do not have to do them alone. Grab a time and we will pick up wherever you are.
