Buyer FAQs
How much do I need for a down payment?
Most loans require between 3%–20% down. We’ll help you connect with lenders who fit your budget.
Can I buy if I’m moving from out of state?
Yes! We regularly help relocating buyers with virtual tours, local guidance, and smooth closings.
How long does it take to buy a home?
Most transactions close within 30–45 days, depending on financing and inspections.
What’s the first step in buying a home?
The first step is getting pre-approved with a lender. That way, you’ll know your budget before we start shopping.
Can you help me find first-time buyer programs?
Yes — we’ll connect you with lenders and programs that offer down payment assistance and special loan options for first-time buyers.
What costs should I expect besides the down payment?
You’ll want to budget for closing costs (typically 2–4% of the purchase price), inspections, and moving expenses. We’ll help you plan ahead.
Do I need to sell my current home before buying?
Not always. Some buyers purchase before selling using bridge loans or contingent offers. We’ll talk through the best strategy for your situation.
Will you help me with inspections and repairs?
Yes. We’ll recommend trusted inspectors, review the reports with you, and negotiate repairs or credits with the seller.
