Q: What if the inspection finds problems?

Every home has something—that's normal. The question is whether it's a dealbreaker or a negotiation opportunity. We'll help you understand what's serious vs. cosmetic, and negotiate repairs or credits on your behalf. You're never locked in until you're comfortable.

Question 1

How much do I need for a down payment?

Accepted Answer

Less than you probably think. FHA loans require as little as 3.5% down, and there are conventional options at 5%. VA loans? Zero down. We'll connect you with lenders who can show you exactly what's possible based on your situation—not what the internet says.

Question 2

How long does it actually take to buy a house?

Accepted Answer

Once you're pre-approved, most buyers find their home within 2-8 weeks. After your offer is accepted, closing typically takes 30-45 days. So start to finish? 2-3 months is realistic. But it all starts with getting pre-approved—we can help you do that this week.

Question 3

Do I really need to get pre-approved first?

Accepted Answer

Yes—and here's why it actually helps you. Sellers take pre-approved buyers more seriously, which means your offers win more often. It also prevents heartbreak—you'll know exactly what you can afford before you fall in love with something out of reach.

Question 4

What if the inspection finds problems?

Accepted Answer

Every home has something—that's normal. The question is whether it's a dealbreaker or a negotiation opportunity. We'll help you understand what's serious vs. cosmetic, and negotiate repairs or credits on your behalf. You're never locked in until you're comfortable.

Question 5

Do I pay you anything as a buyer?

Accepted Answer

Typically, no. In most transactions, the seller pays the buyer's agent commission. So you get expert representation at no direct cost to you. We'll explain exactly how it works for your specific situation before you commit to anything.
