Frequently Asked Questions
Am I Ready to Be a Homeowner?
Owning a home is a big commitment and responsibility, so it’s important to make sure you’re ready before taking the leap. Factors to consider include your financial stability, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Working with a trusted real estate agent and financial advisor can help you assess your readiness and make informed decisions.
Is Renting or Buying Better?
Whether renting or buying is better for you depends on your individual circumstances and priorities. Renting may be a better option if you value flexibility and don’t want to be tied down to a specific location, while buying may be a better option if you’re looking to build equity and establish roots in a community. A real estate agent can help you weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision.
What Is the Lender's Formula?
The lender’s formula refers to the set of criteria that lenders use to determine whether you qualify for a mortgage and how much you can borrow. This typically includes factors such as your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and employment history. Your lender will use this information to calculate your eligibility and determine the terms of your loan.
What Do I Look for in Homes?
When looking for a home, it’s important to consider factors such as location, size, layout, and condition. Other factors to consider may include proximity to schools and amenities, neighborhood safety, and potential for appreciation. Working with a real estate agent can help you identify your priorities and find homes that meet your needs.
Do I Need a Home Warranty?
A home warranty can provide added peace of mind by covering the cost of repairs or replacements for major systems and appliances in your home. Whether you need a home warranty depends on your individual circumstances and preferences. Consider factors such as the age and condition of your home, your budget, and your risk tolerance when deciding whether to purchase a home warranty.
What Should I Expect at Closing?
Closing is the final step in the home buying process, during which you’ll sign all the necessary paperwork to transfer ownership of the property to you. You can expect to pay closing costs, which typically include fees for services such as appraisal, title search, and attorney fees. You’ll also need to bring a cashier’s check or wire transfer for the down payment and closing costs.
What Is Pre-approval?
Pre-approval is a process that lenders use to determine how much you can borrow to buy a home.

Pre-approval can give you a better idea of how much you can afford to spend on a home and can help you stand out in a competitive market.

Before renting, consider factors such as your budget, lifestyle, and future plans to determine if renting is the right choice for you.
What Should I Offer?
