Homebuyer FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Guiding You Home with Clarity, Confidence, and Care. Answers to Ease Your Journey-Because Every Question Matters
Where do I even start as a first-time buyer? Collapse
Start with a conversation. I’ll help you clarify your goals, explain the process, and connect you with trusted lenders. You don’t have to know everything-I’ll walk with you step by step.
How much money do I need to buy a home? Expand
You’ll need funds for your down payment, closing costs, and inspections. But don’t worry-many programs offer low down payment options, and I’ll help you budget wisely.

What costs should I expect beyond the purchase price? Expand
Expect closing costs (typically 2-5% of the home price), inspection fees, appraisal, title insurance, and moving expenses. I’ll walk you through each item so there are no surprises.
Will buying a home hurt my credit? Expand
Not if you’re prepared. In fact, responsible homeownership can improve your credit over time. I’ll help you understand how your score affects your loan and how to protect it.
What documents will I need for a mortgage? Expand
Expect to provide pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and ID. Your lender may ask for more, but I’ll help you stay organized and ready.
How long does the buying process take? Expand
For buying most resale homes, the process typically takes 30 to 45 days from contract to closing-sometimes faster in a competitive market. However, if your a buyer and purchasing new construction, the timeline may extend depending on the builder’s schedule, and completion date. I’ll help you understand and adjust expectations accordingly, so you’re never caught off guard.
How do I know if I’m ready to buy a home? Expand
If you’re financially stable, have a steady income, and feel emotionally ready to commit to a property, you may be ready. I’ll help you assess your readiness and connect you with lenders to explore your options.
What if I feel overwhelmed or unsure? Expand
That’s normal-and you’re not alone. I’m here to guide you with patience, clarity, and care. Every question is welcome, and every step is taken together.
Can I buy a home with less than 20% down? Expand
Yes! Many loan programs offer lower down payment options, including FHA, VA, and conventional loans. I’ll help you explore what fits your financial situation and long-term goals.
What happens after I make an offer? Expand
Once your offer is submitted, we enter negotiations. If accepted, we move into inspections, appraisal, and final loan approval. I’ll manage the process and keep you informed every step of the way.
What’s the difference between a real estate buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent? Expand
A buyer’s agent represents your best interests-negotiating, advising, and guiding you. A seller’s agent works for the seller. The IABS helps you understand these roles so you can choose what’s best for you.

Selling instead of buying? that walk you through pricing, prep, and peace of mind.”
What is the IABS form, and why do I need to sign it? Expand
It’s not a contract-it’s simply a disclosure that explains how real estate agents can represent clients. Texas law requires us to share it early so you know your options. Signing it just means you’ve received the info.
Does signing the IABS mean I’m hiring you? Expand
Not yet! It’s just a form that shows I’ve explained how agency works. When you’re ready to officially work together, we’ll sign a separate agreement.
Do I have to sign the IABS before seeing homes? Expand
Yes, Texas law asks us to share it before we get into real estate discussions. It’s quick, easy, and helps us start on the right foot-with clarity and trust.
Will signing the IABS protect me as a buyer? Expand
It’s part of making sure you’re informed. I’ll walk you through every form so you feel confident-not confused. Your protection comes from having a licensed, ethical agent who puts your needs first.
Can I ask questions before signing anything? Expand
Absolutely. I welcome questions at every step. My goal is to make sure you feel empowered, not pressured.
