INITIAL CONSULTATION
The initial consultation will usually last anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes. During this time, we will explore your needs and wants, discuss your financing options, and ultimately ensure that you have clear expectations throughout the home buying process. We will also establish an agency relationship, should we elect to work together.
ESTABLISH FINANCING
By getting pre-approved for a mortgage loan, you will get a definitive answer for how much a bank or lender will lend to you. This will allow both you and your REALTOR® to understand your maximum budget, so that you can focus on the right homes during your home search. Unless, of course, you plan to purchase with cash. A pre-approval letter or verification of funds to purchase is a requisite to purchasing a home.
HOME SEARCH
Throughout your search for your dream home, your REALTOR® will provide you all for sale listings available through the Multiple Listing Service that best match your criteria and budget. Additionally, your REALTOR® will monitor off-market listings, pocket listings and properties being offered For Sale By Owner to help you identify the perfect home. We will then preview the most suitable properties that meet your needs.
MAKE AN OFFER
Upon finding a home that you are interested in purchasing, it's time to make an offer. Your REALTOR® will help guide you through the steps of submitting an offer, including determining an appropriate offer price and terms based on recent comparable sales, the terms of your loan, and other pertinent criteria. Once your offer is drafted, your REALTOR® will present your offer on your behalf. Typically, the seller will either accept your offer, reject your offer, or propose a counter offer.
THE ESCROW PROCESS
Once you have successfully submitted an offer and received an acceptance, the escrow process begins. During this time, a title search will provide a historical review of all legal documents related to the property ownership to ensure there are no legal claims against the title of the property, so that title insurance can be issued. Escrow will also ensure that any outstanding liens are released before the sale of the property is complete.
This is also the time period where you will receive any relevant disclosures pertaining to the property for you to review and for you to have your home inspection conducted, as well as for your lender to have the home appraisal conducted.
TIME TO CLOSE
You have completed your home inspection and appraisal, the title search has determined that there are no legal claims against title that would prohibit a title insurance policy being issued, and your lender has fully approved your loan and you have remitted the funds for your down payment and closing costs. It is time to close on your home!
Upon receipt of all funds to close and authorization from all parties involved (buyer, seller, lender) the escrow company will submit to the county recorder's office for confirmation of recording, making you a new home owner!
REVIEWS
Melissa made selling our condo the easiest process EVER! we live out of state and have been renting out our condo for the past four years. We texted Melissa asking for comps if we potentially sold it and within two weeks of receiving the numbers she had it under contract and closed three weeks later! We are currently selling two houses and buying a third in other states and Melissa has made this the easiest process! We didn’t lift a finger!

Thank you Melissa Croysdill, for your courtesy, professionalism, and especially your patience.
We are extremely excited to recommend Melissa as a "one of a kind" realtor sales agent. Never in our search did we experience pressure sales or miss information.
If you are out of state and seeking to purchase a home in the Las Vegas area, we highly recommend Melissa Croysdill @ Simply Vegas.
Sincerely
The Lopez family.

Melissa is absolutely amazing! We have been working with her for the last couple of years and she has been so patient. After losing our home of 77 years in the January 2025 Eaton fire, everything fell into place. We purchased our home in June 2025. She has been so helpful and in my opinion has gone out of her way to support us as we move to Nevada. I will refer everyone to her. Thank you so much Melissa!!!
