Compensation is negotiable and is agreed in writing before we begin touring homes. We'll walk you through exactly how it works, what's being offered on a given property, and what it means for you, in plain language, before you commit to anything.

Less than most people assume. Twenty percent is a common benchmark, not a requirement. A number of loan programs go considerably lower, and some carry no down payment at all for those who qualify.

The calculator above lets you model any figure. Your lender will confirm what you qualify for.

Yes, and it's the single highest-leverage thing you can do first. Pre-approval tells you your real budget instead of a guess, and it makes your offer materially stronger when a seller is weighing several.

If you don't have a lender, we'll introduce you to a few and let you choose.

It depends on price point, neighborhood, condition, and how the market is moving that particular month. Anyone who quotes you a fixed number without seeing your home is guessing.

What we can tell you is what comparable homes near you are actually doing right now. That conversation is free.

Usually far less than people expect, and rarely the expensive things. Paint, light, and decluttering tend to return more than a renovation does.

We listen. You tell us what you're trying to do and when, we tell you honestly what that looks like in this market, and you leave knowing your next step.

No pressure and no obligation. Plenty of these calls end with "come back in six months," and that's a fine outcome.
