Should I talk with a bank before looking at homes?
Yes, it’s highly recommended to speak with a bank or mortgage lender before you start looking at homes. This helps you understand how much you can afford, get pre-approved for a loan, and make your offer stronger when you find the right property. It also saves time by focusing your search on homes within your budget.
Should I buy or continue to rent?
That depends on your financial goals and lifestyle. Buying a home can be a great long-term investment and helps you build equity, while renting offers flexibility and fewer maintenance responsibilities. Consider your budget, future plans, and stability before deciding — and our team can help you assess which option best fits your situation.
I own a home, should I buy another before selling my current home?
It depends on your financial situation and comfort level. Buying before selling can give you time to find your ideal home without rushing, but it may require managing two mortgages temporarily. Selling first can free up funds and reduce financial pressure, though it might mean finding temporary housing. Our agents can help you plan the best approach based on your goals and market conditions.
Do I really need a Realtor when buying a home?
Yes, working with a Realtor can make the home-buying process much easier and safer. A Realtor provides expert guidance, negotiates the best deal, handles paperwork, and helps you avoid costly mistakes. Their market knowledge and professional network ensure you find the right home at the right price with confidence.
What is a short sale?
A short sale happens when a homeowner sells their property for less than the amount owed on the mortgage, with the lender’s approval. It’s often used to avoid foreclosure and can be a good opportunity for buyers to purchase a home below market value.
What is a foreclosure?
A foreclosure occurs when a homeowner fails to make mortgage payments, and the lender takes legal action to repossess and sell the property. It allows the lender to recover the owed balance and often results in the home being sold at auction or through a bank sale.
How are the schools?
School quality varies by neighborhood, but we carefully consider local education options when helping clients choose a home. Our agents can provide insights on nearby schools, ratings, and community feedback to help you find the best area for your family’s needs.
What are the average utility bills?
Utility costs vary depending on the home’s size, location, and usage. On average, you can expect to pay for electricity, water, waste, and possibly gas or internet. Our agents can provide estimates based on the specific property and area to help you plan your monthly budget.
