Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step in the home buying process?

The first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This helps you understand how much you can afford and shows sellers that you are a serious buyer.

Should I hire a home inspector before listing my home?

Yes, hiring a home inspector can help identify any issues that need to be addressed before selling. This proactive approach can enhance buyer confidence and streamline the selling process.

How long does it take to close on a home?

The closing process typically takes about 30 to 45 days once your offer is accepted, depending on various factors such as financing and inspections.

How is the listing price determined?

The listing price is typically based on a comparative market analysis (CMA), which evaluates similar properties in your area that have recently sold, along with current market conditions and the unique features of your home.
