Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to work with a buyer's agent?
In most cases, the seller pays the buyer's agent commission, so my services are typically free to you as the buyer. I'll explain all costs upfront during our consultation.
Do I need to be pre-approved before looking at homes?
While not required for browsing, a pre-approval letter is essential when making an offer. It shows sellers you're a serious buyer and helps us focus on homes within your budget. I can connect you with trusted lenders who can get you pre-approved quickly.
How long does it take to buy a home?
On average, from starting your search to closing day takes 2-3 months. However, this varies based on market conditions, your specific requirements, and how quickly you find the right home. Once under contract, closing typically takes 30-45 days.
What areas do you serve?
I specialize in the Fort Worth area and surrounding counties, including Johnson, Parker, Hood, Hill, and Tarrant Counties. This includes communities like Burleson, Cleburne, Godley, Weatherford, Aledo, Granbury, Fort Worth, Crowley, Saginaw, Benbrook, and more. I have deep knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, and market conditions throughout the region.
Can you help with VA, FHA, or first-time buyer programs?
Absolutely! I have extensive experience with all loan types including VA loans, FHA loans, conventional financing, and USDA loans. I can also guide you through first-time buyer programs and down payment assistance available in Texas.
What if I'm relocating from out of state?
I work with many relocating buyers! I offer virtual tours, neighborhood videos, and comprehensive area information to help you make informed decisions remotely. Once you're ready to visit, I'll arrange an efficient tour schedule to maximize your time.
