Home Buying Process

Buying a home in the Temecula Valley goes much more smoothly when you know what’s coming. This section walks you through each step, from pre-approval and making an offer to appraisals, HOAs and Mello-Roos, homeowners insurance, underwriting, and closing day. I’ve helped local families through this process since 1993, and these guides answer the questions I hear most often. Start with the basics, then read about the step you’re facing next. When you’re ready, estimate your payment with my mortgage calculator or start your pre-approval.
