Here’s what they had to say…

” We were always kept in the loop, as to what was going on. Even when speaking to the lenders they would jump in and ask those questions I wouldn’t have even thought to ask. If you are looking for realtors that will go the distance for you True Guidance Realty is that Company. We would not have our home if it wasn’t for them.”

how it works

THE buying PROCESS

01
Consultation

Spend one hour upfront to help prevent miscommunication later. That way you will understand the next steps and allow your Realtor to ask the right questions.

02
Identify Your Buying Power

As a buyer knowing your buying power is crucial to a smooth process. This will help us shop within the targeted budget to prevent unnecessary stress. Usually cash or get pre-approval from a Mortgage lender.

03
Buyers Agreement

The agreement is to clearly state the expectations of the buyer and realtor. Once signed the buyer has officially hired their real estate professional and can cancel anytime before going under contract.

04
Shop for homes

Once your buying power is established and solid we can start looking for homes. If not approved yet, we will put a plan together for you to get you approved, and then once approved we shop.

05
Due diligence & Closing

Once you find a home the following will be scheduled: Home inspection, Appraisal,  other inspections, Title search (Lien search, etc), Home insurance quotes, etc. The goal is to get a "clear to close" from the lender, then we close and you get your keys.

Yes. The value of a home is subject to fluctuations, much like any other investment. History has shown that the real estate market can experience both ups and downs over time. Just as economic conditions change, so does the demand for homes, which can influence their prices. While past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, it’s essential to understand that these fluctuations are a natural part of the real estate market. So, whether a home’s value goes up or down, it’s crucial to have a long-term perspective, be well-informed, and make strategic decisions based on your specific goals and circumstances.

That depends on your situation and goals. The value of an older home versus a new home depends on various factors, including your preferences, budget, and the condition of the property. Older homes often have unique character and charm, but they may require more maintenance and upgrades. New homes typically come with modern features and energy efficiency, but they can be more expensive. Ultimately, the “value” is subjective and varies from person to person. It’s essential to weigh your priorities and consider the specific attributes of each home to determine what best suits your needs and financial situation.

You should consider connecting with a real estate agent as a buyer at the beginning of your home-buying journey, typically before actively searching for properties. No need to wait until everything is perfect.

Here are some specific points at which you should connect with a real estate agent:

  1. Early Planning: It’s a good idea to contact a real estate agent as soon as you decide you want to buy a home. They can help you create a plan and outline the steps you need to take.
  2. Financial Preparation: Connect with an agent to discuss your budget and financing options. They can provide insights into mortgage pre-approval and recommend reputable lenders.
  3. Define Your Needs: Work with your agent to establish your priorities and preferences for the type of property, location, and features you desire in a home.
  4. Market Insights: Realtors can offer valuable information about the local real estate market, including trends, pricing, and neighborhoods that align with your goals.
  5. Property Search: Once you’re prepared to start looking for homes, your agent can help you identify suitable listings, set up viewings, and provide information on available properties.
  6. Viewing Homes: Your agent can accompany you to property showings, offering their expertise in assessing homes, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, and answering your questions.
  7. Negotiation: When you find a home you’re interested in, your agent can assist in crafting and presenting offers to the sellers, as well as negotiating terms, price, and contingencies.
  8. Due Diligence: They can guide you through the due diligence process, recommending inspections and ensuring you understand all aspects of the property before making a final decision.
  9. Closing Process: Throughout the closing process, your real estate agent can help manage paperwork, coordinate with other professionals, and address any issues that may arise.
  10. Post-Closing Support: A good agent remains a valuable resource even after the purchase, helping you with post-closing matters and connecting you with local service providers.

Choosing the right real estate agent is crucial, so take your time to find someone who is experienced, trustworthy, and communicates well with you. Connecting with a real estate agent early in your home-buying process can streamline the journey and ensure you have the support and expertise you need.

When you can afford your mortgage or have the cash it’s the right time for you. No matter the market, people are closing everyday. A good time to buy a home depends on your personal circumstances, financial readiness, and the real estate market. Generally, when you have a stable income, a strong credit score, and have saved for a down payment, it can be a good time to buy. Additionally, favorable market conditions, such as lower interest rates or a buyer’s market with more affordable properties, can also make it a good time to purchase a home. It’s essential to consider your own situation and consult with a real estate professional to determine the best timing for your specific needs.

The duration of the loan process can vary significantly depending on several factors. On average, it takes around 30 to 45 days from the time you apply for a mortgage loan to closing on the home. However, it can be shorter or longer based on factors such as the complexity of your financial situation, the responsiveness of all parties involved, and the specific lender’s processing times. To get a more accurate estimate, it’s best to consult with your mortgage lender and stay proactive in providing any required documentation promptly. 

Remember, your realtor is part of your team and should also advocate for you and do weekly updates with your lender. Your realtor should know all the right questions to ask on your behalf to help prevent unnecessary surprises.

You can start touring homes once you’re pre-approved for a mortgage loan and have a clear understanding of your budget and preferences. Being pre-approved helps you determine your price range, making your home search more focused and efficient. Once you have that financial aspect in place, you can work with a real estate agent to schedule home tours and explore properties that match your criteria. It’s advisable to start touring homes when you’re fully prepared to make an informed decision and potentially make an offer on a property you like.

Keep in mind that your realtor is your one-stop shop for your home buying. Your realtor can sell you any home on the market, even if it has another company sign in the yard or new construction.

A real estate buyer’s agreement, also known as a buyer’s representation agreement or a buyer-broker agreement, is a legally binding contract between a real estate buyer and a real estate agent or broker. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the relationship between the buyer and their agent. Key elements typically included in a buyer’s agreement are:

  1. Duration: The agreement specifies the length of the relationship, often with a start and end date.
  2. Scope of Representation: It defines the roles and responsibilities of the real estate agent, such as assisting with property searches, negotiations, paperwork, and providing advice.
  3. Compensation: The agreement details how the agent will be compensated, typically through a commission paid by the seller, although there might be provisions for the buyer to cover the agent’s fees in certain cases.
  4. Exclusive or Non-Exclusive: It can specify whether the agreement is exclusive, meaning the buyer works exclusively with that agent, or non-exclusive, allowing the buyer to work with multiple agents simultaneously.
  5. Termination: The conditions and procedures for terminating the agreement may be included, outlining the circumstances under which either party can end the relationship.

A buyer’s agreement is designed to protect the interests of both the buyer and the agent, providing clarity on their working relationship and ensuring the buyer receives dedicated representation throughout their real estate transaction. It’s essential to carefully review and understand the terms of the agreement before signing it.
