The Offer Guide
What Mike offers veteran buyers
The process, step by step
- 01
A private consultation
We start with a conversation about your goals, timeline, preferred Phoenix Valley cities and any orders or relocation dates that shape your search.
- 02
Talk to a VA-approved lender
Financing is the lender's role. Mike recommends speaking with a VA-approved lender early to understand your eligibility, your Certificate of Eligibility and what fits your budget. Loan terms and approval are always determined by the lender.
- 03
A focused search
Mike curates homes and neighborhoods that match your needs, and helps you understand how a property may fit a VA-loan purchase.
- 04
Writing a strong offer
Mike prepares and negotiates your offer, explaining each term so you can make confident decisions.
- 05
Inspection, appraisal and escrow
From inspection to the VA appraisal process and title, Mike coordinates the moving parts and keeps you informed.
- 06
Closing day and beyond
Mike walks with you to the closing table and remains a resource after you have the keys.
Selling too? One Percent Listings
If you own a home you plan to sell before or after your purchase, ask Mike about One Percent Listings, the Milan & Co. listing service. Mike can walk you through how it works during your consultation.
A note on financing
Mike is a REALTOR®, not a lender. This guide is a general overview and not financial or lending advice. VA-loan eligibility, rates, fees and terms are set by VA-approved lenders and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Please speak with a VA-approved lender about your specific situation.
