Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MLS and how does it work?

The Multiple Listing Service is a computerized information network that contains virtually all the homes listed for sale through all realty companies. When you hire an agent to sell your home, that agent will contact the MLS and "list" the home into the database, entering the data about the price, number of bedrooms, location, etc.

When you contact an agent to buy a home that agent will access the MLS in search for a home that meets your needs. He will then give you a choice of multiple houses to look at.

What is a closing?

The closing is the date the buyer, seller and the lender agree to meet and legally transfer the property and disperse all the funds.

How much home can I afford?

Typical mortgage requirements say that if you have an average debt load, you can obtain a mortgage between two and three times your annual income.

What is an appraisal?

This is an estimate of the value of the property you intend to buy or refinance.
