FAQ

Buyer FAQs

What’s the first step to buying a home?

Getting pre-approved with a lender so you know your budget. I’ll connect you with trusted lenders to make it easy.

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan program. Some start as low as 3% and there are even 0% options for qualified buyers.

Do I need perfect credit to buy a home?

Not at all. I’ll help you figure out your options and connect you with resources if you want to boost your score.

How long does it take to buy a house?

Most closings take about 30 to 45 days once you’re under contract.

Seller FAQs

How much is my home worth?

I’ll run a Comparative Market Analysis to give you a clear picture of your home’s value.

How long will it take to sell my house?

That depends on the market, your home’s condition, and the price. I’ll give you honest expectations up front.

Do I need to fix up my home before selling?

Not always. I’ll guide you on what’s worth updating and what isn’t.

What fees should I expect when selling?

I’ll break everything down for you before we start so you’re never caught off guard.

General FAQs

Do you only work in Shreveport-Bossier?

I’m based here but I help clients across Louisiana and I can connect you with trusted partners outside the state.

What’s the difference between a Realtor and a Real Estate Agent?

All Realtors are agents but not all agents are Realtors. Being a Realtor means I’m held to a higher code of ethics.

Why should I work with you instead of buying or selling on my own?

Because I make sure the process is smooth and that you don’t leave money on the table.
