What’s the First Step to Buying a House in Rochester?

A lot of future homeowners jump into the search by browsing Zillow or walking through open houses. That feels like the fun part! Although those steps come later, the true first move in a successful home purchase starts a little differently.

It starts with a conversation.

Buying a home is both emotional and financial. We’ll talk through where you’re comfortable and what makes the most sense in today’s local market.
