BUYERS

House financing is completely different from any other financing. For example, when you buy a car, you choose the car first and then get financed. Car financing only takes about 15 minutes, super easy, and completely stress-free!

When you buy a house, you get financed BEFORE choosing the house. Property financing is more complicated and can take several days to weeks. Sellers will not wait for you to get financed, and most will not allow you to see their house if you don't have proof of financing.  Also, some Sellers will not accept certain types of loans, so it would be time wasted to see those houses.

All cash buyer?

Cash buyers need to provide a Proof-of-Funds Letter from their financial institution and a closing time frame to prove to the Seller they are qualified to purchase the property.

The Seller always pays Full Realtor fees for their Listing Agent, and typically pays the full Realtor fees for the Buyer's Agent for bring them a qualified Buyer.  Total Realtor fees range between 6%-9% of the selling price.  However, some Sellers choose not to pay the full fees, then the remaining %-age of the Buyer's Selling  Agent is paid by the Buyer, which averages only around 1%-2%.
