Buyer FAQs
- We always recommend connecting with a lender before you start searching. We can refer you to trusted local lenders who will walk you through your options without pressure. Knowing your budget makes the whole process smoother — and puts you in a stronger position when you find the right home.
- From first conversation to keys in hand, most buyers close within 30–60 days once they are under contract. Finding the right home varies — some buyers find it in a weekend, others take a few months. We work on your timeline.
- In most transactions, the seller pays the buyer's agent commission — so our expertise costs you nothing directly. You get professional representation, negotiation support, and someone who knows the local market watching out for your interests.
- Earnest money is a good-faith deposit, typically 1–2% of the purchase price, that shows the seller you're serious. It gets applied toward your down payment at closing. We'll walk you through exactly what's customary in your market.
