FAQs

What does it cost to use a buyer’s agent?

It doesn’t cost the buyer anything out of pocket. The seller pays a pre-negotiated commission to the listing agent, who in turn pays the buyer’s agent through cooperation under the multiple listing service (Realtracs).

What are closings costs?

Closing costs are expenses incidental to the sale, such as appraisal fees, loan fees, recording fees, etc. They are usually between 2-3% of the home’s price and can be negotiated in the contract.

Do I need to talk to a lender before searching for property?

If you are not paying cash for your home, we recommend getting pre-approved with a local lender. Sellers need to know you are financially ready to buy, and many offers won’t be accepted without an accompanied pre-approval letter.

Do I really need a home inspection?

Yes, you really need a home inspection. While a home inspection can cost upwards of $500-$1000 depending on the size of the home you are purchasing, we want you to know what you are buying. It is an unbiased evaluation of the physical condition of the home provided by a professional who does not benefit financially from a successful closing.

What is earnest money?

Earnest money is a deposit the buyer gives when making an offer on a property. If the offer is accepted, the buyer has a certain amount of time (stipulated in the contract) to provide the earnest money via check or wire transfer.
