FAQs

Buying a 🏠 ?

Joe Reyes signing documents at James Long Real Estate

How much money do I need to buy a home?

We hear this question more than any other. And the answer is, “It depends.”

There are three types of costs involved in buying a home:

Down payment – The down payment varies from 3% to 20% depending on the type of loan you are getting.
Closing costs – These will vary depending on your purchase price as there are fixed-cost items as well as variable items. It’s not always a total percentage of the purchase price, so be sure to ask your mortgage loan officer exactly what they anticipate them being.
Inspections/appraisal – These are all out-of-pocket expenses.

What is a buyer’s agent?

A buyer’s agent is an agent you have contacted and signed an agreement with who can then work with you and advise you in order to get you the best deal in your home purchase.

What about my credit score?

Industry-standard in the market today is a minimum of a 620 FICA score. Your lender of choice should advise you of your score and how you might improve that.

If I see a house for sale, do I have to contact the listing agent to see it?

No, any licensed REALTOR® can show you the house. It is actually better to have a REALTOR® that represents you as a buyer’s agent.

Can you help me get a mortgage loan?

We are not a mortgage lender, but we do have relationships with some of the best in the business. Just ask, and we’ll connect you to one of them.

I want a home that has good schools in the area. How do I find them?

As real estate professionals, we cannot steer people towards or away from an area, but we can be the source to the source. We can guide you towards information that could assist you in your own decision.

Selling a 🏠 ?

How do I choose an agent?

When selecting an agent, the best source may be your family and friends. Many may have sold a property in the past and can refer you to an agent they found to be capable. Selling a home is a complex transaction, so experience should be a consideration. Visit with more than one agent. You should feel like that person cares and wants to help you make the best decision.

What factors can influence the price of my home?

You want your home to sell for the highest price possible but also in a timely fashion. Here are some factors that influence the price of your home:

Current real estate market conditions
The expertise and market knowledge of your real estate representative
Hard facts such as lot size, square footage, and condition of your home
Desirability factors, including location, special amenities, and property attributes
Selling and listing price of comparable homes in the area
Your level of motivation
The profit you wish to make from the sale
The amount of money spent on improvements
The original price you paid for your home
