Investors, first-time home buyers & landlords.

What sets you apart from other realtors?

I pride myself on my communication skills, attention to detail and commitment to always putting my clients needs first.

How will we communicate during the process?

I’ll keep you updated with regular check-ins, market updates and prompt responses to your questions.

How will you help me find the right home?

I'll start by getting to know your priorities, budget, and lifestyle, then I'll use my market knowledge to find properties that fit your criteria.

What is the average time it takes to close on a house?

For financing, the average time to close on a house is typically 30-45 days after your offer is accepted. If it is a cash offer the typical closing time is 7-21 days.

What should I expect for my home inspection?

Home inspections usually involve a thorough evaluation of a property’s condition, including the structure, systems, and components. This is conducted by a licensed inspector. Once the inspection report comes back, you'll notice that they tend to be very long. Don’t let this scare you! Not everything on the report is bad. Carefully read through the report and don't be afraid to ask questions.

What is the first step in the home buying process?

Sit down with a trusted lender and get pre-approved! This is most important thing you can do when it comes to buying a home. Without this, you will have no buying power. Once you’re pre-approved, this will give you an idea of what you can afford. This is when you can begin your home search and actually be able to qualify for homes!

What is earnest money?

Earnest money is a deposit made by the buyer to demonstrate their commitment to purchasing a property (typically 1% of the purchase price). This is held in an escrow account until the transaction closes, once it does, the earnest money is put towards your down payment/the purchase price. If the buyer backs out of the deal without a valid reason, they may forfeit the earnest money. If the buyer backs out due to valid reasoning (ex: a bad inspection report) the earnest money will be returned to them.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs are the fees and expenses that are paid out at the closing of a property sale. Some common closing costs are loan origination fees, appraisal fees, title insurance, and recording fees.

What does it mean If I ask for help with closing costs? (seller concessions)

Seller concessions refer to negotiations between the buyer and seller in a real estate transaction where the seller agrees to pay for a portion of the buyers closing costs. This can help the buyer by reducing their out-of-pocket expenses at closing. These costs will be added to your monthly payment, typically it doesn't effect it by much. The specific terms and amount of concessions are subject to negotiation between the parties involved.
