Questions About Buying a Home in Sunnyvale
How do I start buying a home in Sunnyvale, TX?
Start with a mortgage pre-approval. It tells you what you can afford and shows a seller your offer is real. If you do not have a lender, I can refer you to ones my clients have used.
Then call me. We talk through your budget, your commute and your must-haves, I set up tours, and when you find the home I write the offer, negotiate the price and repairs, and stay with you through closing.
What will closing costs be when I buy here?
They depend on the price, your loan and your lender. They usually include lender fees, title insurance, the appraisal, the inspection, escrow and prepaid taxes and insurance. Your lender gives you a written estimate early, so you know what to expect at the table.
Some of it is negotiable. I negotiated a $20,000 builder contribution to closing costs for buyers in Forney. That was their result, and I will push just as hard on yours.
