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.

Geoff helped us successfully purchase the home despite some stiff competition.
In February 2024, we contacted several agents and ultimately selected Goolsby Group to help us purchase a home in Rocklin. Geoff helped us successfully purchase the home despite some stiff competition. We then asked Geoff to sell our Roseville house. He found a buyer through his contacts that offered a very competitive price, which we accepted. This avoided the added time and expenses of putting the house on the market, staging it, and delaying the closing date. We feel very fortunate to have found Geoff. There were no issues with either transaction, he offered very sound advice, communicated well, has numerous contacts/professionals to help with minor house repairs, and is very friendly. This is the third house we have sold, and Geoff is by far and away the best agent we have used. We are really thankful for the quality of service he provided.

Geoff earned my trust from day one
Experienced, knowledgeable, reliable and resourceful are essential qualities of a first rate professional and describe my real estate agent, Geoff Goolsby. Although I have bought and sold many houses, this transaction could have been a difficult one, as I was buying from a third party and was considering several financing options. I had a lot of questions. Geoff earned my trust from day one, even though it took me almost a year to be ready to purchase my home. He was quick to respond to any question, or to meet with me in person. He listened, offered guidance and services that made my transaction close smoothly. Second mile service, is what Geoff offers. Plus, he's a nice guy. I will recommend him to my family and friends.
A great experience.
