FAQs
How do I get started?
The best place to start is by having a consultation with a real estate professional and coming up with a game plan. Many times my clients will reach out 3-12 months before making a real estate decision to come up with a plan. This is a free consultation where we talk about what the most strategic real estate move for you could be.
Is now the right time to buy / sell?
The answer is, it depends. It depends what your needs are. Questions like, how long will you stay in the house? if you sell where will you going to go? How much equity do you have in the property? Generally speaking, we all know that the market goes up and down, but generally an upward trend. I think most importantly, it’s not timing the market correctly, but rather, how much time you have in the market that matters. I’ve seen many people sit on the sidelines waiting for the perfect timing
Do I need a 20% down payment to buy my first home?
Absolutely not! Most first time home buyers use a FHA loan requiring 3.5% down payment. Even certain areas of DFW qualify for a 0% down payment USDA loan.
How long does the process take?
When buying, my clients normally view homes for between 2-4 weeks before going under contract and closing & possession 30-45 days later. I normally recommend people giving themselves 70-90 days for the entire process.
When selling, I recommend having a consultation earlier, rather than later. This will give us time to run reports to correctly estimate how long it will take before your home sells in the current market. Each neighborhood is a different market resulting in a different timeline to sell your home
