It's easy to get distracted by beautiful kitchens and great staging.

But before you make an offer, there are a few questions every buyer should ask. The answers can tell you a lot about the home, the seller's situation, and potential future expenses.

These are a few I always encourage buyers to ask.

DM me today and let’s talk about what else you should be asking before buying a home!

🏡 A few things first-time buyers are often surprised to learn:

• 5% down may be enough — depending on the loan program, you may not need 20% down.
• Monthly payments include more than the mortgage — taxes, insurance, and HOA fees can all play a role.
• Pre-approval matters — it helps you understand your budget before you start shopping.
• Closing costs are separate — these are additional expenses that come with finalizing the purchase.

The more you understand upfront, the more confident you'll feel when it's time to make a move.
