General Questions:

What areas do you serve? Our primary area of focus is Barrow and Jackson County, plus ALL surrounding counties. With that being said, we do not limit our working area to those counties as we have closed many deals in other counties.

What do you charge for a consultation? ALL consultations are 100% complimentary

Do you help with relocation and out-of-state moves? Absolutely! We have helped many families relocate to and from Georgia. We have built relationships with many referral partners across the US.

How long does the home buying process take? From offer-to-close, it typically takes 30-45 days, but timing can vary based on loan type, inspections, and negotiations. Some lenders, depending on loan type, can close in as little as 12-15 days.

For Sellers:

How much is my home worth? Unfortunately, those estimates you see online aren’t always accurate. Your homes fair market value depends on MANY factors and it’s always best to schedule a quick home visit for the most accurate home price valuation.  

Do you have cash buyers/investors if I don’t want to list my home on the MLS? We sure do! If you’d rather not sell your home on the open market, we have investors who purchase single family homes, mobile homes, buildable lots, etc.

Can you help with photography and staging? Yes! We hire and cover the cost for high-definition photography and drone photography (if needed) for ALL of our listings. For staging, we offer complimentary “light staging” if needed. For larger staging projects, we can connect you with a professional staging company to visit your home and give you an estimate for their service(s).

Do I need to make repairs to my home before listing? This is a tricky one; it depends on the repair. As part of our complimentary consultation, we will address each repair and let you know how this affects the ability to sell your home, as well as how the repair(s) will affect the overall value and marketability of your home.

Do you have contractors to help with repairs. Yes! We have a list or preferred venders, contractors, and handymen for everything you’ll need to get your home sold.

Do you hold open houses? Absolutely! Open houses can be an effective way to get buyers and agents into your home. Typically, we hold open houses the weekend after the home is listed to get you the most traffic possible!

Can I purchase a new home before selling my current home? This requires pre-approval with a lender, but yes, this is known as a “bridge loan” and can be a great option if you’re looking to buy your new home before selling your current home. After moving into your new home, you can use the equity in your current home to help with repairs to your old home before you sell!

For Buyers:

Do you work with first time home buyers? Absolutely! We LOVE working with first time homebuyers. Each first-time home buyer will receive a guide on what to expect while navigating the buying process from beginning to end. We’re here every step of the process!

How does getting pre-approved with a lender help me? Having a pre-approval or pre-qualification letter shows the sellers that you’re serious about buying. Also, it helps you understand your budget and financing options before you start shopping for homes.

Do you recommend lenders, inspectors, or attorneys? Yes! We have developed many professional relationships with lenders, home inspectors, and closing attorneys. With that being said, you are not required to work with or use our contacts; we work with everyone!

How much downpayment is needed to purchase a home? Well, that depends. Some buyers can qualify for loans that cover 100% of the down-payment (USDA and VA Loan types), and others often qualify for loans between 3-5% with a 3.5% down-payment probably being the most common. Keep in mind, your loan type depends on many factors, and a mortgage lender will assist in determining your actual down-payment amount.

Do you have lenders who help with down-payment assistance? Yes! There any many programs available for buyers to apply for when looking for down-payment assistance on their purchase.

What are closing costs, and how much should I expect to pay? Closing costs are fees associated with the loan and the closing of the loan with a closing attorney. These fees vary depending on loan type and attorney but are usually between 2-5% of the purchase price. Because closing costs are always negotiable, if the seller agrees to it, they can help pay for a portion of the buyers closing costs.
