Why do I need a real estate agent?A real estate agent is your advocate and guide through the complex buying or selling process. We handle negotiations, legal documents, deadlines, and help protect your best interests. In Indiana, agents are licensed professionals trained to follow real estate law and ethical standards. Working with an agent can save you time, stress, and money.

What can I expect to pay when buying a home?Here’s a simple breakdown of common upfront costs in Indiana: · Earnest Money – Typically $1,000, this shows you're serious about your offer. · Home Inspection – Around $600 to check the property’s condition. · Appraisal – About $600, required by lenders to confirm value. · Down Payment – Often 3–3.5% of the price unless you qualify for special loan programs. · Closing Costs – Usually start at $2,000+ and vary by lender, title company, and loan type.
-
Why must I sign a Buyer’s Exclusive Agency Agreement?In Indiana, this agreement is required by law to clarify who represents you in the home buying process and it also outlines the terms of agent compensation. It legally allows your agent to advocate for you and your best interests as well as lets you know how we are paid for our services. Every serious buyer should sign one with whichever licensed agent they choose to work with—not just us!
-
What is a buyer or seller's market?A buyer’s market happens when there are more homes for sale than buyers, meaning buyers have more negotiating power. A seller’s market means there are more buyers than homes available, often leading to faster sales and higher offers. Market conditions can change seasonally or based on the economy.
-
What is title insurance?Title insurance protects you and your lender from potential legal issues related to the ownership history of the home. It ensures the title is clear—meaning no one else can claim ownership or unpaid liens. In Indiana, this is a standard part of closing.
-
What are home warranty plans?A home warranty is a service contract that can help cover repair or replacement costs for certain appliances and systems (like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical). These are different from homeowner's insurance and often used for peace of mind in the first year of ownership. Plans vary by provider.
-
What type of loans are available?Here are three common types of home loans: · Conventional – Not government-backed, often for buyers with good credit. · FHA – Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, with lower down payment options. · VA – Available to eligible veterans and active military, often with no down payment.
-
What is a preapproval and why is it necessary?A preapproval is a letter from a lender showing how much you're qualified to borrow based on your financials. It’s essential because it strengthens your offer, shows sellers you're serious, and helps you shop within your budget. Most sellers in Indiana require it before accepting an offer.
-
What are some things I need to do to get my house ready to sell?First impressions matter! Start with decluttering, deep cleaning, and handling minor repairs. Boost curb appeal and consider a fresh coat of paint. We can offer staging tips or connect you with professionals to help your home shine.
-
When is the best time of year to sell my home?Spring and early summer tend to bring more buyers and higher prices. However, serious buyers exist year-round, and timing can also depend on your personal goals, market trends, and local inventory.
-
How long on average does the process take from preapproval to closing?The average timeframe is 30 to 45 days once you have an accepted offer. Preapproval can happen quickly, sometimes in 24–48 hours. The full process depends on your loan type, lender speed, inspections, and title work.
