Real Estate Tips
These are the questions that I tend to get asked the most.

Do I need to get pre-approved before we start looking at houses?
While you don't have to, it's super helpful! It gives you a clear budget and shows sellers you mean business when you find 'the one.' Plus, it helps avoid that heartbreaking moment of falling in love with a house that's not in your price range.

How long does this whole process usually take?
Every situation is different! Buying typically takes 30-45 days once you're under contract, but house hunting can take anywhere from a weekend to a few months. For selling, many homes go under contract within the first few weeks on the market. The key? Let's chat about your timeline and make a plan that works for you.

How much do I need for a down payment?
The old '20% down' rule isn't always true anymore! There are lots of options, from as little as 3.5% for FHA loans to 0% down for VA loans. Let's talk about your situation and find the best fit for your budget.

When should I sell my home?
The best time to sell is when it makes sense for YOU. While spring and summer typically see more buyers, the right pricing strategy works in any season. Let's look at your goals and the current market to find your perfect timing.
