A fair deal is determined by a comparative market analysis (CMA), where we evaluate recent sales of similar properties in the same area. This data, combined with an assessment of the property's condition and current market trends, allows us to determine a property's true market value and advise you on a competitive and fair offer price.

Look beyond the house itself. Key factors include your commute time, the quality of school districts (even if you don't have children, as it affects resale value), access to amenities like parks and shops, crime rates, and future development plans. We recommend visiting at different times of the day and week to get a genuine feel for the community.

For a conventional loan, a down payment is typically 20% to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). However, many government-backed loans (like FHA loans) allow for down payments as low as 3.5%. The exact amount depends on your loan type, lender, and financial profile. We can connect you with trusted mortgage advisors to clarify your specific requirements.

Absolutely. Investment properties are a common and powerful wealth-building strategy. The process and financing requirements (such as a higher down payment, often 20-25%) differ from buying a primary home. We can help you analyze potential rental income, ROI, and identify properties that align with your investment goals.
