Answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask most — answered before you ever pick up the phone.
Am I financially ready to buy?
Readiness depends on income, credit, available funds, debt obligations, monthly comfort level, and the loan program. A consultation and lender review can help turn these factors into a realistic plan.
What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Pre-qualification is generally an initial estimate. Pre-approval typically involves a more complete lender review and can strengthen an offer, subject to final underwriting.
How much money should I save?
Buyers should plan for the down payment, closing costs, inspections, moving, reserves, and immediate ownership expenses. The exact amount varies by financing and property.
Can I receive grant or down-payment assistance?
Some buyers may qualify for local, state, employer, lender, or nonprofit programs. Eligibility, funding, and terms vary, so Bethea Realty can provide education and referrals without guaranteeing approval.
What happens after my offer is accepted?
The transaction moves into inspections, financing, appraisal, title and legal review, insurance, contingency management, final walk-through, and closing.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on readiness, inventory, financing, property type, negotiations, and the contract. A personalized timeline is created during consultation.
Can Bethea Realty help if I am not ready yet?
Yes. Buyer-readiness consultations can focus on education, savings, credit, financing, and a realistic future timeline without pressure to purchase immediately.
