✅ FAQs About Buying a Home

Yes. Prequalification shows sellers you’re serious—and it helps you understand what you can truly afford.

Prequalification is an estimate based on self-reported info. Preapproval involves a full financial check and carries more weight with sellers.

It depends on the loan type. Many buyers put down 3%–5%, and some qualify for 0% down options like VA or USDA.

In addition to your down payment, you’ll have closing costs, inspections, appraisals, and moving expenses. We’ll walk you through every step.

Most buyers close within 30–45 days after getting a contract. We help make sure there are no surprises along the way.
