Q: What is the first step I should take in looking at buying a home?
A: The best first step you can take is to contact Team Woodall and we can put you on the right path to exploring all of your options. After consulting with us we’ll likely recommend contacting a mortgage professional to determine what your purchase qualifications might be. For first time homebuyers we’ll provide you with a wealth of information about the purchase process, including looking at your particular scenario to see if buying a home is even the right decision to make.
Q: I’m looking to purchase a house, how much will it cost to have you help me find a home?
A: Nothing! In nearly every circumstance it’s customary for the seller of a property to pay commissions to the real estate agents. Long Realty Company does charge a $199 fee at the close of escrow to every buyer, but with all the resources at your disposal courtesy of Long Realty & their Long Advantage program this nominal fee is money well spent.
Q: How much money will I need for a down payment on a house?
A: There are a multitude of mortgage programs available for a variety of buyers and different types of purchases too. There are still some programs that allow for 100% financing (notably VA and USDA loans) and FHA insured mortgages are a large part of the market now which currently require a minimum of 3.5% down payment. A consultation with a mortgage professional is highly encouraged to explore all the options available to you and Team Woodall can provide several references.
Q: What resources are available online for me to find the perfect home?
