Frequently Asked Questions
Working with a real estate agent to buy a home typically doesn’t cost anything for the home buyer. In most cases, the seller pays the commission to both their own listing agent and the buyer’s agent. This means that as a buyer, you can take advantage of the knowledge and expertise of a real estate agent without having to pay for their services out of pocket. However, it’s important to clarify the commission structure with your agent and ensure that there are no hidden fees or costs associated with their services.
While it is possible to buy a home without hiring a real estate agent, we highly recommend that you do so. Our team of experienced agents can provide you with valuable guidance throughout the home-buying process, from understanding the local market conditions to negotiating with the seller and helping you close the deal. Our agents will work on your behalf to help you find the perfect property and ensure that the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
To make a competitive offer on a property, it’s important to work with an experienced agent who can help you understand the current real estate market conditions, evaluate the property’s value, and help you structure an offer that is both appealing to the seller and appropriate for your financial situation.

Yes, we highly recommend that you get pre-approved for a mortgage before starting your home search. A pre-approval will give you a better understanding of what you can afford and will help you make a competitive offer when you find a property you like. Our team of agents can guide you through the pre-approval process and help you understand the benefits of having this step completed before you start your search.
Determining how much to budget for a down payment depends on various factors, including the property’s purchase price, your financial situation, and the type of mortgage you are applying for. While the general rule of thumb is to aim for a down payment of at least 20% of the purchase price, some mortgages require a minimum down payment of 3.5%. Moreover, several programs are available to assist with down payments. Our team of experienced agents can help you calculate a more specific number based on your unique situation, and we can also pair you with a professional mortgage broker to assist you in obtaining the right mortgage for your needs.
The home-buying process can vary depending on a number of factors, including the current real estate market conditions, your specific needs and preferences, and the type of property you are looking to buy. Typically, the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Our team of experienced agents can guide you through the process and provide you with a better understanding of the timeline for your specific situation.
