Here is what sets our team apart:
1. How do I know if I am ready to buy a home?
That depends on your goals, finances, timeline, and comfort level. We help you evaluate the bigger picture so you can make an informed decision.
2. Do I need 20 percent down to buy a home?
No. Many loan programs allow for much lower down payments depending on the type of financing and your qualifications.
3. What is the first step in buying a home?
For most buyers, the first step is having a conversation about goals and getting connected with a lender for pre-approval.
4. What is pre-approval?
Pre-approval is when a lender reviews your financial information and helps determine how much home you may qualify to buy.
5. How much money do I need upfront?
That depends on your loan type, down payment, earnest money, and closing costs. We help you understand those numbers early in the process.
6. What are closing costs?
Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing the purchase, including lender fees, title fees, prepaid taxes, and insurance-related costs.
7. What happens during an inspection?
A licensed inspector reviews the visible condition of the home and identifies concerns. We help you understand the report and decide what comes next.
8. How long does the home-buying process take?
That depends on the market and your situation, but once you are under contract, many transactions close in about 30 to 45 days.
9. Can the seller help with my closing costs?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the market and loan structure, we may be able to negotiate seller contributions.
