What people ask us most. Have a different one? Ask away.
How do you vet agents?
We review licenses, sales history, client reviews, and conduct interviews. Only agents with consistent client-first service make the cut.
Can I interview more than one agent?
Yes—please do. We’ll introduce 1–3 options so you can choose who fits best.
Will I be pressured to list or buy?
No. Your agent presents options and timelines; you decide the pace.
Do I need mortgage pre-approval before touring homes?
It helps. A solid pre-approval strengthens offers and shortens timelines.
What if the appraisal comes in low?
You can renegotiate price, split the difference, challenge the appraisal, or the buyer can bring extra cash. Your agent will outline options.
What inspection issues are deal-breakers?
Health/safety, structural, roof, electrical, plumbing, and major water issues lead the list. Credits often solve smaller items.
I’m relocating from another state—can you help?
Yes. We’ll match you with a local agent at the destination and coordinate timelines with your current home sale.
Can you recommend faith-friendly pros (lender, attorney, inspector)?
Yes—on request. We’ll share options; you choose.
How long does closing take?
Financed deals usually close in 30–45 days; cash can be 7–14 if title is clear and scheduling is fast.
Do I pay to get matched?
No. Matching is free and no-obligation.
What if I don’t click with the first agent?
Tell us. We’ll rematch you quickly, no hassle.
Do you share my information?
Only with the specific agents you ask to meet. We don’t sell data.
Should I fix things before listing?
Prioritize high-ROI items: curb appeal, paint, small repairs, and safety issues. Your agent will give a short, targeted prep list.
Do open houses actually work?
They can increase exposure the first 1–2 weeks. Serious buyers often come via private showings—your marketing plan should include both.
Can I buy before I sell?
Yes—with the right financing and risk plan. Options include bridge loans, HELOCs, or sale contingencies. Your agent and lender will map it out.
Do you handle condos and HOAs?
Yes. Your agent will review HOA rules, fees, reserves, and approval timelines early.
What unexpected costs should I budget for?
Buyers: inspections, appraisal, closing costs, insurance, immediate fixes. Sellers: repairs/credits, title/transfer fees, attorney/HOA charges, moving.
Can I time my sale and purchase to avoid two moves?
Often, yes—via rent-backs/leasebacks, longer closings, or aligned dates.
