Let’s start with a one-on-one consultation to understand your needs, goals, and preferences. Together, we’ll create a strategy to find the perfect property that suits your lifestyle and budget.
Consultation
Before we dive into the market, getting pre-approved for a mortgage is key. It helps set a realistic budget and shows sellers you’re a serious, prepared buyer.
Get Pre-Approved
With your pre-approval in hand, we’ll begin exploring available homes. I’ll provide expert guidance and insider knowledge to help you find the right fit, whether it's an investment property or a forever home.
Start the hunt
Once you've found the one, it’s time to make your move. I’ll help you craft a competitive offer that aligns with your goals and market conditions.
Make an Offer
I’ll work on your behalf during the negotiation process, ensuring we secure the best terms and price. With years of experience, I handle the back-and-forth so you can focus on the excitement of your new home.
Negotiations
The final step! I’ll be by your side through the closing process, making sure all paperwork is in order and everything goes smoothly for a stress-free transition into your new home.

"We originally had reached out to another realtor in 2019 about looking at property. He gave us a name of a lender and said to get pre qualified and then he would work with us. The following year we decided to pull the trigger and got pre qualified. We then started looking on our own. Dan Lester reached out to us after we we…

"Our Best Xperience!
When our family decided to make a change and move to the Outer Banks, we had no idea it would take more than 2 years to make the move complete. We have been working with Dan Lester at Tidal Realty for that long, most realtors would have thought we weren't serious or even bothered keeping in touch. Dan…
