Buyer FAQ

Common questions from Kansas City home buyers.

Down payment requirements vary by loan type. Conventional loans typically require 3–20%, FHA loans require 3.5%, and VA loans for eligible veterans require 0% down. We'll connect you with trusted KC lenders to find the best option for your situation.

The typical timeline from pre-approval to closing is 60-90 days, though it can vary based on market conditions and loan type. The home search itself can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on your criteria and the market.

Once under contract, you’ll have an earnest deposit or “good faith payment”, that’s typically 1K-1% of the offer price. There will be costs associated with inspections, appraisals, closing costs (about 1.5-2% of the offer price) and don’t forget moving costs. It’s a good idea to have a contingency fund for unexpected repairs and purchases after you get moved in too.

Absolutely. First-time buyers are one of our specialties. We walk you through every step of the process, help you understand your financing options, and connect you with down payment assistance programs available in Missouri and Kansas.

We serve the entire Kansas City metro area including Kansas City MO, Kansas City KS, Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Independence, Liberty, Gladstone, Northland, and all surrounding communities in both Missouri and Kansas.

Working with the right real estate agent can make a huge difference. If you (or someone you know) is looking to buy or sell, we'd welcome the opportunity to explain the advantages we offer.
