It depends on the loan program. Conventional loans can go as low as 3–5% down, FHA loans start around 3.5%, and VA/USDA loans can offer 0% down for eligible buyers. A lender can walk you through what you qualify for.
Pre-qualification is a quick, informal estimate based on what you report. Pre-approval involves the lender verifying your income, credit, and assets — it carries real weight when you make an offer, and I always recommend getting pre-approved before we start touring homes.
From the first showing to closing, most buyers are looking at 30–60 days once an offer is accepted, though the house-hunting phase itself can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on the market and what you're looking for.
I pull recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, factor in your home's condition and any updates, and look at current buyer demand. You'll get a full comparative market analysis — no guesswork.
You're not required to, but in most cases it doesn't cost you anything extra to have representation, and having someone in your corner for negotiations, inspections, and paperwork is well worth it — especially as a first-time buyer.
Closing costs typically run 2–5% of the purchase price and cover things like lender fees, title insurance, and prepaid taxes. Buyers and sellers each pay their own share, and in some cases buyers can negotiate for the seller to cover part of theirs.
Commission structures vary by transaction and are always negotiable. I'll walk you through exactly how it works for your specific situation before we get started — no surprises.
