Common Questions
"You need 20% down"
False.
5% down is possible for homes under $500K. There are also first-time buyer incentives and programs that can help. We'll find the right path for your situation.
"You should wait for the market to drop"
Probably not.
Timing the market is nearly impossible — even experts get it wrong. The best time to buy is when you're financially ready and emotionally prepared. Waiting costs you in rent and opportunity.
"Using a REALTOR® costs the buyer money"
Not true.
As a buyer, my services cost you nothing out of pocket. The seller pays commission. You get professional guidance, representation, and negotiation — completely free to you.
