Here is what our clients say
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Andrea Scanlon. She is so knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable asking all of the beginner level questions a first time homebuyer has. She provided excellent guidance on how to put together a strong offer, so much so that my first and only offer was accepted. Andrea is a great advocate for her clients; I felt supported through the entire process!

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does It Take To Buy A House?
The timeline for purchasing a house varies, depending on several factors. When it comes to getting a home loan, the pre-approval process typically takes 1 to 5 days, contingent on how quickly you submit the necessary documents, such as tax returns and pay stubs, to the lender.After obtaining pre-approval, the pace at which we find your dream home will be influenced by your personal preferences and needs, as well as current market conditions. On average, most home buyers can expect to find a property within 1 to 90 days.Regarding closing, if you require a home loan, the process from identifying a house to closing usually spans about 30-45 days. However, for cash buyers, this timeline can be significantly reduced to 1 to 2 weeks, if desired.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire You As My Realtor?
Our services are almost always paid for by the seller at closing. This does not mean I am partial to the seller. In fact, I am legally obligated to represent you and have your best interests at heart. In certain cases, where a property is priced exceptionally low, we may charge a minimum fee. However, a significant portion of this fee is still covered by the seller, and you would only need to cover the remaining balance.
Do I need a home inspection, and how do I arrange one?
If I'm your agent, we'll recommend reputable home inspectors and guide you through the process of scheduling and completing a home inspection, along with all inspection negotiations.
What's the market like right now?
Honestly, it changes daily. Let's book a home goals consultation, and I can give you insights into the current real estate market conditions, such as inventory levels, pricing trends, and competition among buyers.
