Buyers
Buy With Confidence
Buying in Nashville starts with your goals, budget and timing. Here's exactly how the process works when you're working with Shannon.
The Home Buying Process, Step by Step
- 01
Get Pre-Approved With Your Lender
Start with your lender. A preapproval confirms what you can borrow, clarifies your budget and strengthens an offer. It's conditional and it expires, so ask about its terms — and plan for the down payment and closing costs along the way.
- 02
Conversation
We start with what you actually want out of this move — timing, budget, must-haves, and the parts of daily life a floor plan can't show.
- 03
Define Your Search
Green Hills, 12 South, Sylvan Park or other areas. We narrow by street, housing style, lot, walkability and commute rather than just price and bedroom count.
- 04
Explore Homes
You'll see homes with context: what's been renovated, what hasn't, what's nearby, and how each one compares to recent neighborhood sales.
- 05
Make an Offer
Shannon builds an offer strategy around the property's history, current competition and the seller's likely priorities — then negotiates it.
- 06
Inspection & Due Diligence
Inspections, disclosures, appraisal and any repair negotiations, with clear explanations of what matters and what's routine.
- 07
Closing
Lender coordination, title, final walkthrough and paperwork — managed so the last two weeks stay calm.
- 08

Keys, local recommendations, and a REALTOR® who's still around long after closing day.
