Frequently Asked Questions

Is a custom home search free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation. I'll set up your search and send you matching listings as they hit the market.

How quickly will I get listings?

New homes that match your criteria are sent as soon as they're listed, so you can see them before most buyers do.

Can I change my search criteria later?

Absolutely. Most buyers fine tune their search as they tour homes. Just call, text, or email me and I'll update it.

Do I need to be pre-approved first?

No, but it helps. Knowing your budget makes your search more accurate, and sellers take pre-approved offers more seriously. I can connect you with a VA lender who knows the Portland market.

Can you search both Oregon and Washington?

Yes. Troy is licensed in both states and can set up a search covering Portland, its suburbs, and SW Washington cities like Vancouver, Camas, and Ridgefield.
