Common First-Time Buyer Questions
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on your loan type. VA loans require $0 down. FHA loans start at 3.5%. Conventional can be as low as 3%.
How long does the process take?
Typically 30-45 days from accepted offer to closing. The home search timeline varies based on your needs.
Do I need perfect credit?
No. There are loan programs for various credit situations. Let's discuss your options — you might be closer than you think.

I connect you with trusted lenders who will get you pre-approved quickly. This tells us exactly what you can afford and makes your offers stronger.
