What Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a pre-approval before we start?
A strong pre-approval is the best first step. It focuses your search, strengthens your offer, and speeds up closing.
How many homes should I see?
Enough to compare with confidence. We’ll narrow the list so tours are efficient and you’re not overwhelmed.
How do we decide what to offer?
We’ll look at recent similar home sales and current demand, then set price and terms that fit your goals.
What if the inspection finds issues?
It’s common. We’ll review the report, estimate realistic costs, and choose a response—repair, credit, price change, or walk away if needed.
What happens if the appraisal comes in low?
We’ll discuss options: re-negotiate, appeal with better comps, adjust your financing, or cancel if your terms allow.
How much do I pay you as a buyer?
In many cases, the seller covers buyer agent compensation. If there’s a gap, I’ll explain your options up front so there are no surprises.
How long does closing take?
Most purchases close in 30–45 days after an accepted offer, depending on financing and contingencies.
Can you recommend lenders, inspectors, and title companies?
Yes. You can choose anyone you like, and I can introduce trusted pros who communicate well and meet deadlines.
What costs should I expect besides the purchase price?
Typical buyer costs include inspections, appraisal, lender fees, title fees, recording, and prepaids like taxes and insurance. I’ll outline estimates based on your loan and property.
When do I get the keys?
After closing is complete and the deed is recorded. We’ll confirm your key handoff timing before closing day.
