"Top 5" F.A.Q. From Sellers

  1. "What does the timeline/process of selling a home look like?"

    Within the first few days, the listing agent will typically visit the home and chat about expectations and their specific listing process. After they have viewed and done their research on other sales in the area, they will be able to suggest a listing price (more about that later), share thoughts on how to prep the home (more about that later too!), and answer any additional questions. Listing documents will also be signed during this timeframe, to make it official! Next, a professional photographer will be scheduled, and the agent will discuss the best way to access the home (usually with an official lockbox that only licensed realtors can access). Once…

Questions

"Top 5" F.A.Q. From Buyers

  1. "Should I talk to my lender or find a home I like first?"

    Our advice is always: Talk to your lender! Before offering on a home, it's important to know how much home you can afford and how much money you'll need to buy a home. Your preferred lender will want to take a look at your finances and talk about a monthly payment that's realistic. They will crunch some numbers and be able to provide the maximum loan amount you're "Pre-Approved" for overall. These days, having a Pre-Approval Letter from your lender can be crucial when making an offer. It shows the seller that you're serious and have your financing in order. 

  2. "What does the timeline/process of buying a home look like?"

    When using a lender, the standard timeline…
