  • How much money do I need for a down payment?

  • Can I buy a home and sell mine at the same time?

  • How do I know if a property is a good deal?

  • Can I back out if I change my mind?

    Yes. There are contingencies in place that will allow you to back out of a deal and have your earnest money deposit returned to you. If you back out of the deal after all contingencies have been met, you may have to forfeit your deposit.

  • How quickly can I close?

    A typical closing is 45 days when you are obtaining a mortgage. Cash purchases can close in as little as one week. To learn more about the closing process click here.
