Frequently Asked
Buyer FAQs
How much do I need for a down payment?
It varies — FHA loans allow as little as 3.5%, conventional from 3%, and VA from 0%. We’ll connect you with trusted local lenders to find the right fit.
How long does the buying process take?
From pre-approval to close, plan on 30–60 days once you’re under contract. We’ll set a realistic timeline tied to your move-in goals.
Do I need to be pre-approved before touring?
Yes — pre-approval clarifies your budget, strengthens your offer, and keeps us from falling for homes outside your range.
What costs come with closing?
Plan for 2–4% of the purchase price in closing costs (loan fees, escrow, title, recording, and prepaid items). We provide a detailed breakdown upfront.
