Our 8 Step Buying Process:
Beginning your home search can be an overwhelming and daunting task. Because of that, our team makes sure that you, and all other potential buyers, understand each of the 8 steps that we take to make the process as easy and painless as possible. By the end of your search, with our support and guidance, you will live happily ever after in your new, dream home.
Meet virtually and create a wishlist
Let’s get to know each other! Once you’re ready to work with our team, we’ll meet together for a Buyer Consultation to focus your search and determine what you want and need in a home.
Pre-qualification
We’ll introduce you to our mortgage partner, who can help you determine your buying price range with confidence. Be prepared to dig into paperwork during this part of the process such as pay stubs, W2’s, and tax returns. The lender will do a full review and then tell you what you will be able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital step in the home buying process!
Listing alerts sent to you based on your criteria
Our agents get to know you — Need to move for a job? Want a shorter commute? Getting married? Having a baby? Need to upgrade or downsize? At this stage in the process, we’ll send you notifications about the listings that you’re most likely to be excited about. Be sure to let us know if one (or more) jumps out at you so that we can skip to the next step and schedule a viewing. be there for you every step of the way.
Schedule viewings and attend open houses
Here’s where the buying process gets really fun! We’ll attend virtual open houses together and schedule viewings of the homes that you’ve loved from our listing alerts. We’ll talk about how the budget will work and make sure that we find you the perfect home.
Find the perfect home and write an offer
When you’re ready to make an offer, your agent will present a written offer to the seller. We also present your offer using video to help make a bigger impact and showcase our commitment to the sale of the home. And while everyone loves getting their offer accepted right away, the seller could come back to us with a counteroffer, or reject your initial offer all together. We’re happy to walk you through each of these possibilities and exactly how to handle them. Once the offer is accepted, it’s time to get your financing in order and move forward to the next step!
Acceptance, appraisal and inspection
The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the property matches the condition of the property while the inspection makes sure that everything in the home is functioning properly and there are no major issues inside. These are the last steps before the shiny keys to your home are placed in your hand... for good!
Time to close and get the keys
Get excited because it’s time to close on your home! This process includes going through all of the final paperwork and signing your name (a lot!). Don't forget to bring all of the paperwork you’ve collected along the way and your down payment.
Celebrate! 🥂
Let us congratulate you on this milestone with a celebration toast, a keepsake photo of you with your new set of keys, or even a housewarming party! Seriously, we are excited for you and so grateful to be a part of this journey.

We can't thank him enough!
As first time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were new to the entire process of purchasing a home and didn't really know where to start. Geoff met with us and made everything so much easier to understand. Throughout the process, he was available to answer any questions and was just as excited as we were, which was awesome. We ended up buying a home that is absolutely perfect for us, and we can't thank him enough!
We never felt burdened.
Selling our home and relocating to another state was one of the biggest decisions we have ever made. Geoff Goolsby and his team couldn't have made the process go any smoother. Their professionalism was appreciated but their kind hearted demeanor and friendly staff was what won us over. Geoff and his team had professional pictures and video taken, flyers were always stocked in front of our house, and the time spent on open houses is what ultimately sold the house. They always were prompt in answering our questions and took care of all the small details so we never felt burdened. Without a doubt I am 100% confident there is no better team to help sell a house in Placer County. Thank you so much to The Jeff and Geoff Team for your time, effort, and expertise in selling our home.

My husband and I decided to buy a house in the Rocklin area while living in the DC area. We were referred to the Jeff and Geoff team and our experience was simply amazing! Geoff was a tremendous asset throughout the entire home search process, negotiation, purchase, and closing. We couldn't be happier with our home in Rocklin and we are extremely thankful we chose to work with Geoff, whose knowledge and skills are too numerous too list. He had answers to all of our questions and made himself available even while he was away. Geoff consistently went above and beyond to show us countless houses to ensure we found a home that was a perfect fit for our growing family. Geoff will be the first person we call when we look to move again. Thank you again for everything, Geoff!
