Frequently Asked Questions
Question about Buying
Before buying a home, consider your budget, desired location, type of home, property taxes, local amenities, and the potential for property value growth. It’s also important to get pre-approved for a mortgage to understand your buying power.
You can find homes for sale by searching online listings, attending open houses, and working with a local realtor who has access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and can provide you with listings that match your criteria.
The home buying process typically involves getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for homes, making an offer, conducting inspections, securing financing, and closing on the purchase.
