Should I get preapproved before looking at homes?

Getting preapproved before beginning your search helps establish a realistic price range and gives you a clearer understanding of your financing options. It also allows you to move more quickly when you find a home you want to purchase.

How do I know how much home I can comfortably afford?

A lender can review your income, credit, debts, down payment and estimated monthly expenses. Your budget should also account for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other costs associated with owning a home.

Which communities does the Linda Rea Team serve?

The team assists buyers throughout Rochester, Rochester Hills, Oakland Township and surrounding Oakland and Macomb County communities. Your search can be expanded based on your preferred location, commute, budget and property needs.

How long does it usually take to buy a home?

The timeline varies based on your needs, available inventory, financing and market conditions. Once an offer is accepted, additional time is needed for inspections, appraisal, financing and closing. We will help you understand the expected timeline for your specific purchase.

Should I have the home professionally inspected?

A professional inspection can provide valuable information about the home’s condition and identify items that may need attention. We can help you understand the inspection process and discuss the available next steps after the report is received.

Can you help if I need to sell before I buy?

Yes. The Linda Rea Team can help you create a coordinated plan for selling your current property and purchasing your next home. We will discuss timing, market conditions and contract options based on your circumstances.

Can you help first-time home buyers?

Yes. We guide first-time buyers through financing, property searches, showings, offers, inspections and closing. We take time to explain unfamiliar terms and help you prepare for each decision.
