What Buyers Are Saying

I am dedicated to making every home purchase a smooth and successful experience. Here is what my clients had to say.

“Lizzy was very helpful during our whole process. She was attentive to our needs and helped us with any questions. She was great at listening to what we were looking for in a home and working with our schedules. I am happy we went with her and helped us find our forever home.”

Jeffrey J.

“My husband and I have been living in the house Lizzy sold us for almost 2 years, and it was the best decision. She was very quick and efficient in finding a home for us in our price range as first time home buyers. We loved working with her!”

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions to assist you in your home buying journey.

How do I know if I am ready to buy a home?

If you are tired of renting, ready to build equity, and excited to have a place to truly call your own, you are on the right track! Let’s chat about your goals and see if now is the perfect time to buy.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Not as much as you might think! Some loans require as little as 3% down, while others may need 20% or more.

Plus, if you are a first-time homebuyer in Virginia, there are programs that could help, like the Virginia First-Time Homebuyers Program, which offers down payment assistance and special loan options. I will connect you with a lender who can break it all down and find the best option for you!

What credit score do I need to buy a home?

A 620+ score is a great starting point, but some loan programs work with lower scores too. The higher your score, the better the loan terms, so let’s chat about ways to boost it if needed!

Do I really need to get pre-approved before house hunting?

Yes, yes, and YES! A pre-approval shows sellers you are a serious buyer and helps us focus on homes that fit your budget.

Plus, you will feel way more confident knowing what you can afford before falling in love with a house! If you have not started the pre-approval process yet, no worries—I can recommend and connect you with trusted lenders who will help you get started.

What other costs should I expect besides the down payment?

Closing costs, inspections, moving expenses, and maybe a celebratory pizza on your first night in your new home! I will walk you through everything upfront so there are no surprises.

How long does the home-buying process take?

It depends, but once we find the one and get an offer accepted, closing usually takes 30 to 45 days. I will keep things moving and update you every step of the way.

I found a home I love! What happens next?

Woohoo! We will move fast—submitting an offer, negotiating terms, and scheduling inspections. I will guide you through every detail until we reach the closing table and you get those keys!

Should I buy a new home or an older one?

Do you love the idea of a brand-new kitchen, or does a home with character and history speak to you? New homes have modern features, while older homes often come with charm (and sometimes lower prices). I will help you weigh your options!

Can I buy a new home while selling my current one?

You sure can, but timing is everything! I will help you juggle both transactions so you don’t end up homeless or with two mortgages at once. We will make a plan that works for you.

How do I get started?

Easy... just reach out! Whether you are ready to start house hunting or just curious about your options, I would love to chat and help you take the next step toward homeownership.
