Frequently asked questions.

Do I need to get pre-approved before we start looking at houses?

While you don't have to, it's super helpful! It gives you a clear budget and shows sellers you mean business when you find 'the one.' Plus, it helps avoid that heartbreaking moment of falling in love with a house that's not in your price range.

How long does this whole process usually take?

Every situation is different! Buying typically takes 30-45 days once you're under contract, but house hunting can take anywhere from a weekend to a few months. For selling, many homes go under contract within the first few weeks on the market. The key? Let's chat about your timeline and make a plan that works for you.

What makes you different from other agents?

I'm not going to give you some cheesy sales pitch. What I will say is that I'm obsessed with helping people find their perfect home, I actually answer my phone, and I'll tell you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear. Plus, I make a mean property tour playlist.

How much do I need for a down payment?

The old '20% down' rule isn't always true anymore! There are lots of options, from as little as 3.5% for FHA loans to 0% down for VA loans. Let's talk about your situation and find the best fit for your budget.

When should I sell my home?

The best time to sell is when it makes sense for YOU. While spring and summer typically see more buyers, the right pricing strategy works in any season. Let's look at your goals and the current market to find your perfect timing.

Do I need to make repairs before listing?

Not always. Some updates are worth it, while others aren’t. I’ll walk through your home and help you decide what’s worth tackling and what can wait.

How long will it take to sell my home?

Every home is different, but most sell within 30 to 60 days depending on price, condition, and location. I’ll keep you informed the entire time so you always know where things stand.

What’s included in your marketing plan?

Professional photos, social media exposure, listing placement on major real estate sites, open houses, and targeted online marketing. My goal is to make your home stand out and sell quickly.

Do you have a question I haven't answered?

Shoot me a message! I'm always happy to chat real estate, whether you're ready to make a move or just curious about the market.
