Searching for homes online? So last year. When you Searching for homes online? So last year.
When you’re ready to make the biggest purchase of your life 🏠 don’t leave it to online platforms that know nothing about you or your dream neighborhood.
Get personal with an agent who knows the St. Louis coffee shops, green spaces, dog parks, and tree-lined streets you've fallen in love with!
We can even set up an automated search just like those online platforms — only better. Here’s how it works:
① Send over your non-negotiables (bed and bath count, zip code or neighborhood, school district, etc.), and we’ll create an auto-search with your parameters.
② When a listing hits the MLS (as Coming Soon or Active) that fits what you’re looking for, you’ll get an email - and likely a phone call from Dawn, Lance, Natalie, or Sabina! - delivered to your inbox with info about what could be your next home. (That's us in the first photo. Your dream team. 😉)
③ See something you like? We’ll go have a look right away! Let's do this!
You’ve got nothing to lose (except endless scrolling on Zillow!) and everything to gain. Send us a DM, and we’ll have your search set up in minutes. 🔍
