Buying a Home
-
Most buyers put down between 3% and 20%, depending on the loan program. Conventional loans can start as low as 3% down, FHA loans require 3.5%, and VA loans may require $0 down for eligible buyers.We work with trusted local lenders who can walk you through what fits your budget.
-
Yes. A pre-approval letter tells us (and sellers) exactly what you can afford and shows you're a serious buyer. In today's market, homes move fast, and a pre-approval can be the difference between getting an offer accepted or missing out.
-
The home touring process can vary depending on the market and your preferences. Some buyers find a home after only seeing a few homes, others can months. Once your offer is accepted, buyers can expect settlement to be after 30–60 days. Timelines shift depending on financing, inspections, and how competitive the market is at the time.
-
Earnest money is a deposit that shows the seller you're serious about the purchase. It's typically 1–3% of the purchase price and gets applied toward your down payment or closing costs at settlement.
-
Inspections are not legally required, but often recommended. An inspection protects you by uncovering issues with the roof, foundation, systems, and more before you're locked into the purchase. We can recommend inspectors we trust in the area.
-
Buyers typically pay 3–5% of the purchase price in closing costs, covering things like lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, and recording fees.
Selling a Home
-
We run a comparative market analysis (CMA) using recent sales of similar homes in your area, current inventory, and local market trends specific to your county and neighborhood along with economic data. Pricing it right from day one is one of the biggest factors in a fast, strong sale.
-
Small updates go a long way: decluttering, deep cleaning, fresh paint in neutral tones, and boosting curb appeal. We'll walk your home with you and give you specific recommendations and contracts that can assist you.
-
It depends on price, condition, and local market conditions, but well-priced homes in our market typically go under contract within a few days. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on current activity in your specific area.
-
Sellers typically pay real estate commission plus 1–3% in additional costs like transfer taxes, title fees, and any negotiated buyer concessions.
Local Considerations
-
This depends on the home price, your down payment, interest rate, and monthly debts, not just a flat number. A local lender can run your specific numbers, and we're happy to connect you with one who knows this market well.
-
Chester County remains one of the most competitive markets in the Philadelphia suburbs. Homes are routinely going under contract within days to a few weeks of listing, and a meaningful share sell above asking price, especially in and around West Chester Borough. That competition makes a strong pre-approval and a responsive agent more important than ever.
-
