Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s what people are asking the most. If there’s something else you’d like to ask, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Why buy a home when I can rent?
Buying a house can build equity. That means if the home’s value goes up, you’ll cash in on the higher value when you sell. Plus, with a fixed-rate mortgage, you won’t have to worry about rising rents. “Interest rates are so low now,” Hopson says. “That means borrowing money is very inexpensive today.
Is there down payment assistance available?
Yes, there are many avenues for down payment assistance. VA loans do not require a down payment in most cases.
What if I need a home with accessible options?
We are here to help you find a home with the accessible options such as widened doorways. If you need to change a home you are purchasing we recommend local contractors who will assist you in getting your home ready for your move in.
Why would I use a realtor to sell or buy a home?
Your real estate agent or Realtor can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in your local marketplace, as well as the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in marketing your home and selling it at the best price.
Is it better to buy a new built home or an existing home?
It is mainly a tug between Convenience vs. Customization.
Some reasons to buy an existing home may be a better option if you would like to be in a particular established neighborhood—near work, school, friends, and/or family. Odds are, too, that the home will have mature landscaping, so you won’t have to worry about starting a lawn, planting shrubs, and waiting for trees to grow. And if you want to live close to town, your best bet will be an existing home since most, if not all, of the land, will have already been built upon.
On the flip side, the most significant disadvantage of buying an existing home may be that you won’t get exactly what you want. You may not be in love with the floor plan and may wish that half bath on the first floor was a full bath or that there was another bedroom on the main floor. The big advantage is you are much more likely to get exactly what you want. For many, this factor alone is enough to choose to build over buying. Still, there are other advantages, too, like the ability to create a more efficient home that meets new energy codes and standards for heating, ventilation, and cooling, plus insulation, and air filtration. Better efficiency is good for the environment and can save you money on your utility bills each month.
