Common questions

Buyer FAQ

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan program — some first-time buyer programs allow as little as 3% down, while conventional loans typically require more. We can connect you with a lender to walk through your specific options.

Do I need to be pre-approved before touring homes?

It's strongly recommended. Pre-approval tells you your real budget and makes your offer far more competitive once you find the right home.

What if I've been turned down for a mortgage before?

It happens more than people think, and it's often fixable. We work with a loan officer partner who specializes in helping buyers who got a "no" the first time around.
