Step One:Initial Consultation

Once you’ve identified a Lock and Key Real Estate Professional to work with, we will take the time to help identify your needs, hopes and desires. This is a very important time that our professionals get to know YOU. We recognize each person's circumstance is unique, so during this time we hope to outline 1) your budget 2) your timeline and 3) any known limitations to helping you achieving your goals.

Step Two:Property Search

Once we understand your needs and wants, we will then set you up within our state-of-the-art database, helping you identify available listings within the criteria you set forth in the initial consultation. You are encouraged to browse on your own and give feedback to the real estate professional you are working with to help narrow in on your perfect investment property to purchase. Additionally, you may be made aware of other off-market oppertunities in the area!
