The first step in buying a home is to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This involves working with a lender to determine how much you can afford to borrow based on your income, credit score, and other financial factors.

A property is priced right if it's in line with similar homes in the area and the current market conditions. As your real estate agent, I can provide a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help determine if a property is priced fairly.

It depends on your financial situation and personal preferences. Selling your home first can provide you with a better idea of how much you can afford to spend on a new property, but it can also leave you without a place to live. I can help discuss the pros and cons of each option in order to help you make the decision that's right for you.

The length of time it takes to sell a home depends on a variety of factors, including the local real estate market, the condition of the property, and the asking price. Contact me to discuss the specifics of your potential sale and I will provide you with an estimated time frame based on these factors.

A home inspection is a thorough examination of a property's structure, systems, and components to identify any defects or potential issues. It's typically conducted by a licensed home inspector, and the results can help inform negotiations and repairs during the buying or selling process.

A title search is a review of public records to confirm that the seller has clear ownership and legal right to sell the property. It's typically conducted by a title company or attorney, and the results can help prevent any legal issues from arising after the sale.

Closing costs are fees and expenses associated with finalizing a real estate transaction, such as loan fees, title fees, escrow, and broker fees. They typically range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price of the property.

You may be able to, but it will depend on the terms of the contract. Most real estate contracts include contingencies that allow buyers to back out under certain circumstances, such as a failed home inspection or financing issues. However, backing out of a contract without a valid reason can result in legal consequences.
