Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Why should I work with a real estate agent instead of buying or selling on my own?

As a licensed real estate agent, I guide you through every step of the process, from pricing and negotiations to contracts and closing. I help buyers find the right home faster and ensure sellers get top dollar through strategic marketing and expert negotiation.

Is now a good time to buy or sell a home?

The market changes frequently, but I stay on top of trends and can provide expert guidance based on your goals. Whether you’re looking to invest, upgrade, or downsize, I can help you make the best decision.

How do I start the home-buying process?

You start here! I am partnered with great vendors I trust to take care of my clients, including lenders. Those I partner with are competitive in rates and fees, while not compromising on communication, quality and care.

How long does it take to buy a home?

Every situation is different, but from finding a home to closing, it generally takes 30-90 days. I help streamline the process by handling the paperwork, scheduling inspections, and keeping everything on track.

Do I really need a home inspection?

Yes! Whether you’re buying or selling, a home inspection helps identify potential issues before they become bigger problems. I can recommend trusted inspectors and help you navigate the results.

Can I buy a home with less-than-perfect credit?

Yes! There are loan programs for buyers with lower credit scores, and I can connect you with lenders who specialize in working with first-time or credit-challenged buyers.

What should I do to prepare my home for sale?

I provide a personalized home-selling strategy, including home staging advice, professional photography, and pricing analysis. Small updates like decluttering and minor repairs can make a big difference.

How do I know how much my home is worth?

I offer a free, no-obligation home valuation using market data, comparable sales, and my expertise in the local market. Contact me for a personalized estimate!

What are closing costs, and who pays them?

Closing costs include lender fees, title fees, and taxes. Buyers and sellers both have costs, but I help negotiate these fees to save you money wherever possible.
