How do I start the home-buying process?

The first step is to get pre-approved by a lender. This tells you how much you can afford, strengthens your offer, and helps us move quickly when you find a home you love.

How much money do I need to buy a home?

It depends on your loan type and situation. You’ll need: • Down payment: as low as 0-3.5% for some loans • Closing costs: typically 2-3.5% of the purchase price I’ll help you estimate your total out-of-pocket costs early on!

Do I need to work with a realtor?

Yes! A buyer needs to work with a realtor because we guide you through the entire process, protect your interests, negotiate the best deal, and help you avoid costly mistakes.

Can I buy a home with bad credit or no money down?

Yes! If you qualify, there are loan programs (VA, USDA, and sometimes FHA) that allow low down payments or no down payment at all. I can connect you with trusted lenders who specialize in these options.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs include fees for the loan, appraisal, title, and taxes. These usually total 2-3.5% of the home’s price. Sometimes, we can negotiate for the seller to cover part of these.

Can I back out after my offer is accepted?

Yes, under certain conditions — such as financing or inspection contingencies. I’ll make sure your contract protects your best interests.

Why and How?

A mortgage pre-approval is a lender's conditional commitment to finance your home purchase. It shows exactly how much you can borrow and demonstrates to sellers that you're a serious, qualified buyer.

I work with trusted lenders who make the pre-approval process straightforward and will help you understand your financing options. Let's start here.
