FAQ

Do I pay my buyer's agent out of pocket?

In most transactions, we negotiate for the seller to cover the buyer agent's commission, so buyers typically do not pay it out of pocket. We'll handle the details and explain everything upfront, so you can move forward confidently without any surprises.

Is buying near CSU a good investment property strategy?

Properties near campus can rent well to students, but they also come with more wear and turnover than a standard single-family rental. We can walk through the numbers on a specific property so you know what you're actually getting into.

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on your loan program. See our full breakdown on the buying a home page, or reach out and we'll walk through your options.
