It depends on your income and debt ratio, savings for down payment, etc. The first step before you even start looking for a home is to find out if you can get a loan, and for how much, while you’re still comfortable with the future monthly payments. The easiest way is to contact a lender. I know excellent loan officers who can help you determining the answer to this question, will pre-qualify you for a loan, and will guide you if your credit score is not excellent. Even if you  had a foreclosure, they can help. Contact me now so I can introduce you to some great professionals!

A REALTOR® is a licensed professional, who abides by the Code of Ethics. A real estate agent that is not a REALTOR®, doesn’t abide by it.

A REALTOR® will represent and guide you. He/she will search for all the available homes for sale in the area. One person can show you several homes, so no need to make several appointments with different people. The seller is usually the one who pays the commission, so you are getting expertise and help in your home search at no cost! So why NOT to have a REALTOR® on your side?

The real estate world has its own language, and you will have to read, understand and sign many documents. You will want to have a REALTOR® show you homes, prepare a Comparative Market Analysis before making an offer, so you know beforehand what’s the best offer for that home.

It’s usually within 30-45 days. If you’re paying cash, it will be a lot faster! This time is used to process the loan (please make sure you are in contact with your lender and give him any documents he needs as soon as possible), but also for inspection, title search, lien search, etc.

Absolutely! You can’t take a home for a “test ride”, so you want to hire a licensed home inspector who will check the home for you, including roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, windows, cracks, mold, termites, etc.

The commission can vary. The main thing you want to ask yourself and ask your REALTOR® is: what will you do to sell my home? Ask about professional photography, marketing online (on how many websites will my home be listed?) and  printed materials (brochures, postcards, etc).
