The Answers You Need

Frequently Asked Home Buying Questions

What is the first step in buying a home?

The first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This helps you understand your budget and shows sellers you’re a serious buyer. Contact us to connect with trusted local lenders.

Do I need a down payment to buy a house?

While most loans require a down payment, there are options available for qualified buyers. VA loans and USDA loans may offer zero down payment options for eligible borrowers.

How do I know what I can spend on a home?

Your budget depends on factors like income, debt, credit score, and down payment. A general rule is that your mortgage payment shouldn’t exceed 28% of your gross monthly income.

Will I need a home inspection?

While not always required, a home inspection is highly recommended. It can reveal potential issues with the property and give you leverage for negotiations or repairs.

Should I sell my current property before buying a new one?

This depends on your financial situation and local market conditions. We can help you evaluate your options and create a strategy that works best for your circumstances.

How does earnest money work?

Earnest money is a deposit that shows sellers you’re serious about purchasing. It’s typically 1-3% of the purchase price and goes toward your down payment or closing costs at closing.

What are “closing costs”?

Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing your home purchase, typically 2-5% of the loan amount. They include lender fees, title insurance, appraisal fees, and prepaid items like property taxes and homeowners insurance.
