We Have Answers!

Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it simple. Here are some of the questions we get most often, answered to help you feel confident moving forward.

Do I need a preapproval before looking at houses?

YES. We cannot start looking until we know our TRUE budget. The real estate market can be very aggressive so knowing your numbers is the only way to make a smart decision.

Should we meet for a consultation before looking at a property?

YES. It’s important to know how much money you need to save beyond the down payment. Many other fees are involved in buying a property that most buyers don’t know about including lender fees, title fees.

Do you help the Spanish speaking community?

Proudly 😀

Can I buy a property without my spouse?

No. Missouri is a marital state, which requires all spouses to be included in land or property purchases. They do have the option to sign a waiver with the title company’s notary allowing it to happen without their consent.

Should I sell before I buy, or buy before I sell?

Depends on your budget. The mortgage lender will be able to guide you on monthly payment schedules & if you are eligible to carry two mortgages for a short period of time.
