Purchasing real estate can be a daunting task to undertake alone. It takes greater experience and knowledge to navigate the market than in years past, not to mention the fact that an investment in real estate is one of the largest financial opportunities one can make.  Having been a member of our local community for over years, few firms have the familiarity with the surrounding counties as we do.

Frequently Asked Questions of Home Buyers

How Much Money Do I Need To Purchase

This depends on the price of the home and type of mortgage you receive. Generally, you should have enough to cover three main expenditures. 

Earnest Money-

This is the money that accompanies an offer to purchase. This shows the seller that you are a serious buying. This money is deposited into an escrow account and if accepted, can be put towards the down payment. If your offer is rejected, the money is returned to you and you can try again.

Down Payment-

This is the amount of money that you put towards the purchase price. The greater the down payment, the smaller the loan and ultimately the less you pay to the bank in interest.  

Closing Costs-

These are the fees associated with the paperwork involved in closing on a property. In general, closing costs consist of 3-4% of the final sales price and can include:

  • Escrow Fees

  • Taxes and Insurance

  • Recording Fees

  • Survey Fee

  • Document Preparation Fees

  • And More

 

Should I Use a Real Estate Broker, or Just Wing it? 

Besides the fact that brokers have the ability to see listings from other brokerage firms and have access to thousands of properties that the average person does not, brokers know what they are doing. It is their job to simplify the process of buying so you can understand exactly what is going on. The last thing you want to do is overpay for a home, be blind sided with unforeseen expenses, and have no where to turn for advice.
