3 Common Homebuyer Questions

Here are the answers to the three most common questions asked by future homebuyers: How does your agent get paid? Answer: Real estate agents are paid by the seller. The agent's fee is determined and agreed upon before the seller and agent sign the listing agreement. Rest assured, as the buyer, you won't be responsible for paying the agent. How much can I afford? Answer: To determine the exact amount you can afford, it's best to consult with a lender. They will consider your debt-to-income ratio, your personal comfort level, and provide you with an accurate figure. Remember to include expenses such as insurance, taxes, and any homeowners association (HOA) fees. What are the additional costs beyond the down payment? Answer: Apart from the down payment, you may encounter various additional costs such as property taxes, insurance, escrow fees, title fees, inspection fees, appraisal fees, and lender fees. These expenses typically range from 1% to 3% of the total home price. 🙋🏻‍♀️🌴 Looking to buy/sell/invest in California?
