Our Process

Step # 1

Contact us to connect and let us know exactly what you’re looking for, your timeline and all of the details for your U.S purchase!

Step # 2

We will send you an email with a list of items we need to take care of your pre-approval. Once received, The Real Estate Bridge team will conduct your pre-approval in about 2 days!

Step # 3

We will begin to send you listings in your ideal area, with all your criteria and requirements

Step # 4

Once you identify which properties you are interested in, we will begin to book showings in order to view the property(ies) in person. Many of our clients are from out of town, and physically being present for in person showings isn’t always an option. If this is the case, our real estate team will take videos, and/or bring you with us via video call!

Step # 5

Once we find the right property for you, we will discuss the terms and submit our offer to the listing brokerage. Once our offer is accepted, we will instruct you on how to send your deposit in order to lock in the contract. Once the contract is in place, we have a certain amount of time to conduct an inspection. The Real Estate Bridge will help with this as well!

Step # 6

We close on the property and celebrate!!
