For Buyers
We bring structure, strategy, and clarity to every step so you always know what’s next — and never feel like you’re going it alone.

Buyer FAQ
It depends on your loan type. Conventional loans can require as little as 3% down, while FHA loans start at 3.5%. VA and USDA loans may require zero down for qualifying buyers. We’ll help you understand your options before you start shopping so you’re searching in the right range from day one.
Absolutely. In Central Indiana’s competitive market, sellers often reject or deprioritize offers without pre-approval letters. It also helps you shop with confidence and move quickly when the right home comes along — which it often does faster than buyers expect.
An inspection contingency gives you the right to have the home professionally inspected and negotiate repairs or walk away. Waiving it can make your offer more competitive, but it carries real risk. We’ll advise you on how to remain competitive without exposing yourself unnecessarily — every situation is different.
Most transactions close in 30–45 days from accepted offer. Cash transactions can close in as few as 10–14 days. The main variables are your lender’s timeline, inspection period, and any negotiated repair windows. We keep the process on track so no time is wasted.
Buyers in Indiana typically pay 2–4% of the purchase price in closing costs, including lender fees, title insurance, prepaid taxes and insurance, and recording fees. Your lender will provide a Loan Estimate early in the process. We’ll review it with you so there are no surprises at the closing table.
