Do I need a pre-approval before looking at homes?

Yes. A pre-approval letter shows sellers you're serious and gives you a clear budget. Dr. Jan can connect you with trusted local lenders who offer competitive rates and various loan programs.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Down payment requirements vary: FHA loans require 3.5%, conventional typically 3-20%, and VA/USDA may require 0% down. Dr. Jan connects you with lenders who specialize in various programs including Nevada down payment assistance.

Are buyer's agent services free?

Yes. In most cases, the seller pays the buyer's agent commission. You get full representation from Dr. Jan Duffy at no cost. She works exclusively for you—not the seller.

What should I look for when viewing homes?

Consider layout, condition, location, schools, HOA, and resale potential. Dr. Jan points out red flags, discusses comparables, and helps you evaluate each property objectively.
