FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the process change if we end up building our home?
The timeline will vary, but the overall process is similar. We still get an inspection, the seller/builder typically covers our compensation, and we are still there to support and guide you through the process. We are your advocate to make sure the job is done well and you are protected.
Do I have to get a pre-approval letter first?
Absolutely! We need to make sure we are looking at homes that fall within your purchasing power. The only way to know that is to complete the application process. You and the lender will also discuss what type of loan product will be best suited for you. Those details are necessary to write an offer. If we are looking at new construction, the builder’s preferred lender will almost always be able to get you a better rate along with incentives.
What happens if I'm out of town on closing day?
It is typically not a problem. We can send a mobile notary to you! Please give us as much heads up as possible to assure proper arrangements can be made.
How long should the process take?
We can typically go from executed contract to closing day in three weeks. We don’t have to move that fast, but we can. If you are purchasing new construction, the timeline will be determined by the builder. Attention to detail and timeline is critical, especially in this situation.
We are dedicated to helping you navigate the property market with ease. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, our expert team offers personalized services.
