Buying a new home is exciting and confusing. There are a lot of steps to buying a home, and people have questions. These are the most common questions home buyers have, and the answers.
1. How do I get started? – The first step is to speak with a lender and get a pre-approval. This will tell you, and potential sellers, how much you can afford.
2. How long does it take to close on a home? – Typically, it takes about 30-45 days once contracts are signed to complete the lending, appraisal, and inspection processes.
3. What does my agent do? – A buyer's agent will negotiate terms and manage the closing process from start to finish.
4. How much do I pay for a buyer's agent? – Nothing. The seller's agent gives the buyer's agent a portion of their commission from the seller.
