Buyer FAQ
Questions buyers ask
How much do I need for a down payment in Northern Virginia?
It depends on your loan. Some programs allow as little as 0–3.5% down, while conventional loans often range from 3–20%. I’ll connect you with trusted local lenders so you know your numbers before we tour.
Are there programs for first-time homebuyers in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia Housing and some local jurisdictions offer first-time buyer loans and down payment assistance. Eligibility varies, so a lender should confirm what you qualify for — I’ll help you find the right one.
How long does it take to buy a home?
Most buyers spend a few weeks to a few months searching, and closing typically takes about 30–45 days after your offer is accepted.
How are buyer’s agents paid?
Buyer agent compensation is agreed upfront in a written buyer agreement. In many cases, the seller contributes, but it varies by property. I’ll walk you through every option before we start.
Can you help me buy in Korean? 한국어로 도와주실 수 있나요?
Yes — I can explain contracts, disclosures and negotiations in Korean so you fully understand every decision.
