What to expect Common Questions for Home Buyers and Sellers

BUYING A HOME

The best first step is to speak with a trusted lender and get prequalified. This gives you a clear picture of your budget and helps us narrow your home search to properties that fit your goals. I can connect you with reputable local lenders if you’re not sure where to start.
Every transaction is unique, but most home purchases close within 30–45 days from the time an offer is accepted. Your timeline will depend on factors like financing, inspections, and negotiations — and I’ll guide you through each step to keep everything on track.
Yes. Having a dedicated buyer’s agent ensures you have someone working solely for your best interests — from finding the right property and negotiating the price to handling inspections and closing details. As your agent, I’ll advocate for you every step of the way.
In most cases, buyers don’t pay agent commissions - they’re typically covered by the seller. That means you get professional representation, market expertise, and negotiation power at no direct cost to you.
Once your offer is accepted, we’ll move into the contract phase. This includes scheduling inspections, finalizing your mortgage, coordinating with the title company, and preparing for closing day. I’ll manage the process and keep you informed so there are no surprises.

I start with a comprehensive market analysis that considers comparable sales, local trends, and your home’s unique features. This helps us set a competitive price that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.
Small improvements can make a big difference. I’ll walk you through decluttering, minor repairs, staging tips, and curb appeal enhancements to ensure your home shows its best and stands out online and in person.
The timeline depends on your price point, condition, and local market conditions. On average, most homes sell within 30–60 days. My goal is to position your property for a strong, timely sale with as little stress as possible.
I combine professional photography, strategic online advertising, social media promotion, email campaigns, and traditional print materials to give your listing maximum visibility. My goal is to attract qualified buyers quickly and generate strong offers.
Seller costs typically include agent commissions, closing costs, and any agreed-upon repairs or concessions. I’ll provide a detailed breakdown upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
