What buyers ask.

How much do I need for a down payment?
Some loans need very little down and others need more. A lender can tell you what you qualify for, and LaVonne can put you in touch with one.
How long does it take to buy a home?
Finding the right home is the part nobody can time. Once your offer is accepted, closing usually takes several weeks with a mortgage and less with cash.
Do I pay the agent who helps me buy?
Sometimes the seller pays it and sometimes the buyer does. LaVonne explains the fee, and who is expected to pay it, before you sign anything.
What are closing costs?
They are the fees due when the sale closes, such as lender fees, title work and insurance. Your lender gives you a written estimate early, so there are no surprises.
Should I get pre-approved first?
Yes, if you are getting a mortgage. A pre-approval tells you what you can spend, and sellers take your offer more seriously with one.
