Frequently asked questions
Here are the most common questions I hear from buyers and sellers. If you have a question that's not listed here, don't hesitate to reach out — I'm here to help.
Do I need a realtor to sell my house?
Technically no, but a realtor brings market expertise, negotiation skills, and access to a wider buyer pool. I'll make sure you get the best price with the least hassle. My services are typically paid for by the seller as part of the transaction.
Do I need a realtor to buy a house?
You can buy on your own, but a realtor brings market knowledge, negotiation skills, and access to listings you won't find on your own. Plus, my services are typically paid for by the seller, so there's no cost to you.
How much are closing costs?
Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the home purchase price. I'll walk you through a detailed breakdown so there are no surprises. The exact amount depends on the price of the home, the loan type, and your location.
Who pays for closing costs?
In most cases, the buyer pays their own closing costs, but there's room to negotiate. I can help you structure the deal to minimize out-of-pocket expenses. In some cases, the seller may agree to cover part of the closing costs.
Am I going to be homeless when I sell my house?
This is a common fear, and I have strategies to solve it. Whether it's a rent-back agreement, bridge financing, or a carefully planned timing strategy — I make sure you're not left without a home. I've helped many families navigate this successfully.
Who helps me through this process to not be homeless?
That's what I'm here for. I coordinate the entire process — selling your current home and buying your new one — so you're never left without a roof over your head. I've got your back.
What are the contingencies in a contract?
Contingencies are conditions that must be met before a sale closes — like inspections, appraisals, and financing. I'll explain each one and help you understand what's fair to ask for and what to protect yourself with.
How do I purchase and sell my house at the same time?
This is one of the most common questions I get. I have strategies for coordinating both transactions so you're not left without a home. Whether it's a rent-back, bridge financing, or a timing plan — I've got you covered.
