These answers provide general real estate information, not legal, financial, tax, inspection or appraisal advice. Requirements and market conditions can change, so confirm decisions with the appropriate qualified professional.
Buying questions
Do I need pre-approval? A current pre-approval is strongly recommended before serious shopping, but it is not final mortgage approval.
What should I bring to a showing? Bring your criteria and questions. Take notes, but follow seller instructions regarding photography or recording.
What makes an offer strong? Strength depends on price, deposit, conditions, dates and the seller’s priorities. The safest strategy is specific to the property and your risk tolerance.
