Frequently Asked Questions
Am I Ready to Be a Homeowner?
Consider your finances (stable income, good credit score, emergency savings), lifestyle (willingness to commit, maintain a property), and future plans. We can help assess your readiness!
Is Renting or Buying Better?
It depends! Buying offers long-term investment and potential appreciation, while renting provides flexibility. We can help you analyze your goals.
What Is the Lender's Formula?
Many lenders consider debt-to-income ratio (DTI) to measure affordability. This is your monthly debt payments divided by gross monthly income. Generally, a DTI below 36% is favorable.
What Do I Look for in Homes?
Location, property type, size, features, budget, and future needs are all important. We can guide you based on your priorities.
Do I Need a Home Warranty?
A home warranty offers protection against unexpected repairs on covered appliances and systems. It provides peace of mind, but isn’t mandatory.
What Should I Expect at Closing?
Closing finalizes the home purchase. Expect to review and sign documents, pay closing costs, and officially become a homeowner! We’ll walk you through the process.
What Is Pre-approval?
Pre-approval confirms your borrowing power from a lender. It strengthens your offer and shows sellers you’re a serious buyer.
Am I Ready to Rent?
Consider your finances and lifestyle. Renting offers flexibility, but doesn’t build equity.
What Should We Offer?
Research market value and similar properties. We can help you craft a competitive offer based on market conditions.
Can I Ask You for Advice?
Absolutely! We’re here to answer your questions and guide you throughout your real estate journey.
