Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common home buying questions
How much do I need for a down payment?
Down payment requirements typically range from 3-20% depending on the loan type. FHA loans require as little as 3.5%, while conventional loans often require 5-20%. We can connect you with lenders who will help determine the best option for your situation.
What credit score do I need to buy a home?
While requirements vary by lender and loan type, most conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620. FHA loans may accept scores as low as 580. We work with lenders who can help you understand your options based on your current credit situation.
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 moving in can take 2-6 months depending on market conditions and your specific situation. We work to make the process as efficient as possible.
Should I get pre-approved before looking at homes?
Absolutely! Pre-approval shows sellers you're a serious buyer and gives you a clear budget. It also speeds up the closing process once you find your dream home. We can connect you with trusted lenders for pre-approval.
What are closing costs and how much should I expect to pay?
Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the home's purchase price and include fees for appraisal, inspection, title insurance, and loan origination. We'll provide a detailed estimate early in the process so there are no surprises.
Do I need a buyer's agent?
While not required, having a buyer's agent is highly recommended. We represent your interests, negotiate on your behalf, and typically our services are paid by the seller. You get professional expertise at no cost to you.
