Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need for a down payment?

Down payments typically range from 3-20% depending on your loan type. FHA loans require as little as 3.5%, conventional loans often require 5-10%, and VA loans (for military) can be 0% down.

Do I need to be pre-approved before looking at homes?

While not required, getting pre-approved before house hunting is highly recommended. It shows sellers you're serious and helps you understand your budget. In competitive markets, pre-approval is often necessary to make an offer.

How long does the home buying process take?

From offer acceptance to closing typically takes 30-45 days. However, the entire process from starting your search to getting keys can vary from a few weeks to several months depending on market conditions and your specific needs.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing your home purchase, typically 2-5% of the purchase price. These include lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, inspection, and escrow fees. We can often negotiate for the seller to cover some of these costs.

Should I buy new construction or an existing home?

Both have advantages. New construction offers modern features, warranties, and customization, but may cost more upfront. Existing homes often have established neighborhoods, mature landscaping, and lower prices. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your priorities.
