1. Getting to know you
My absolute first priority is to get to know you. We'll talk about where you want to be, what your needs are, and what your timeline looks like.

Understanding the buying process
What to expect
Every buyer's situation is different. I build the search around your timeline, your must-haves, and the realities of mountain property.
2. The search
I'll send properties that match your criteria — not every listing that hits the market. Each one is screened for fit, access, and the details that matter here.
3. The showing
We visit in person so that you can actually get a feel for the property. While we're there, I'll point out things that the listing photos don't show.
4. The offer
We craft terms grounded in comparable sales and current inventory, not algorithms. Price, contingencies, and timeline are chosen for your situation.
5. Due diligence
Inspections, well and septic tests, surveys, road agreements, and utility confirmations. Nothing gets skipped on a mountain property.
6. Closing
I stay involved through the final walk-through, the closing table, and the handoff of keys. The finish should feel uneventful.
Under contract
Guided through the finish
Once you're under contract, the real work begins. Mountain properties require extra attention during due diligence.
Inspection strategy
I help you read the inspection for mountain-specific risks — not just cosmetic issues — and decide what matters.
Due diligence coordination
Well tests, septic inspections, surveys, and access agreements are scheduled and reviewed before deadlines.
Contract navigation
Every deadline, contingency, and counter is explained so you can make clear decisions under pressure.
In their words
What buyers say
“Benji told us what the listing didn't — the road, the well, the winter. We bought with our eyes open.”
“He answered questions we didn't know to ask. The closing was the easy part.”
