  • It depends on your plans. If you’re staying put for a few years, buying can be a smart move that builds equity and stability. Renting can make sense for flexibility, but with high rents and strong property values, homeownership often wins long-term. We’ll help you determine what’s right for you based on your preferred price range and other factors.

  • Your price range starts with a clear look at your financial picture to determine if you’ll pay cash or get a loan. If you’ll require a loan, the most important step is partnering with a reputable lender who can talk you through the options. If you need an introduction, we’re happy to connect you with trusted lenders. Then we’ll collaborate as a team to define a budget range.

  • It depends on the seller’s situation as well as your financing. Typically around 30 days, sometimes faster.
