Frequently Asked Questions — Buying, Selling & Investing
Pre-approval is the first step toward buying a home. A lender will review your income, credit, debt, and assets to determine how much you can afford to borrow. You’ll receive a letter stating the amount you’re approved for, which strengthens your offer when you’re ready to buy. I can connect you with trusted lenders who work with all kinds of buyers, including those with limited savings or credit challenges.
The main costs typically include agent commission (usually around 5–6%), attorney fees, possible repairs, and transfer taxes. I provide a full breakdown upfront so there are no surprises. My job is to help you get top dollar while keeping your costs as low as possible.
Buying or selling can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on your situation. If you’re pre-approved and ready to move, we can act quickly. For sellers, the timeline depends on market conditions and how we price and market your home. I’ll walk you through every step with a clear plan.
