5 Most Common Home Buyer Questions

Embarking on the journey of purchasing a new home can be a daunting experience. From figuring out where to start to navigating the intricacies of the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the process. At the Lee Tessier Team, we understand that you may have many common buyer questions that need answering. Allow us to walk you through the most frequently asked questions and provide you with the resources you need to make an informed decision.

Question 1: What is the first step in buying a home?

One of the most common buyer questions is, “Where do I start?” The first step in buying a home is getting pre-approved for a loan. It’s important to ensure that you have your loan set up and ready to go for when you close on the home, regardless of how much you choose to put down as a down payment. Checking your credit score and making sure you’re in a secure spot is also crucial. Let the Lee Tessier Team guide you through this process with ease and expertise.

Question 2: How long does it take to buy a home?

The timeline for finding a house varies from person to person. However, once you find a home and have an accepted offer, it usually takes around 30 days to close. The Lee Tessier Team can help streamline this process for you, making the entire experience stress-free. We have the answer to the most common buyer questions and can help speed up the closing timeline, taking the load off of you.

Question 3: Should I buy with the help of an agent?

Another common buyer question we see is whether the client should be represented by an agent or sell their home with no representation. At the Lee Tessier Team, we believe working with a real estate agent is a highly-valued asset when buying a home. We have poured into all of our agents with training and mentorship to ensure we are some of the most knowledgeable in the industry. Let us lead you with a servant’s heart through every part of the process. You can rest assured that we will educate and inform you of all your options and what may be the best fit in order to reach your goals. We follow through with the transaction with excellence and deliver an unparalleled experience so you can focus on enjoying this step in your life.

Question 4: How much is the average down payment?

The recommended down payment is around 3-5%. Of course, this all depends on your loan type and what you are eligible for! The Lee Tessier Team provides you with the best resources and tools to navigate this process with ease.

Question 5: What is the best advice for home buyers?

The best advice we can give you is to stay focused on what’s best for you and your goals! Staying within your budget and keeping all costs and paperwork organized is key to ensuring a stress-free process. Be confident in your decision and celebrate little wins along the way!
