Good to know
Buyer questions we hear a lot
How much do I need for a down payment in Kansas?
It depends on the loan. Many first-time buyers in the Wichita area put down 3% to 5%, and VA and USDA loans can require nothing down for those who qualify. We'll connect you with local lenders who lay out the real numbers for your situation. [TODO: confirm any preferred lender partners.]
Should I get pre-approved before I start looking?
Yes. A pre-approval tells you your real budget and shows sellers you're serious, which matters when a well-priced home draws multiple offers. It's a short step and it makes everything after it smoother.
How long does it take to buy a home?
From accepted offer to keys, a typical financed purchase in this market runs about 30 to 45 days. The search itself is up to you: some buyers find their home in a weekend, others take a few months.
What does it cost to work with a buyer's agent?
We'll go over how buyer representation works and what it costs at our first conversation, in writing, before you commit to anything. [TODO: client to confirm current buyer-agency fee language for compliance.]
