General Real Estate Questions:

The first step is to understand your budget and get pre-approved for a mortgage if needed. At 1804 Realty, we’ll guide you through each step—from identifying neighborhoods to touring properties and making an offer. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed and confident from start to finish.
We start with a free home evaluation to assess your property’s value, followed by a tailored marketing presentation to attract the right buyers. We handle all aspects of the listing process, from setting the price to negotiating the sale, making the selling experience smooth and successful.
A pre-approval gives you a clear picture of your budget, strengthens your offers, and shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer. Our team can guide you through the pre-approval process and connect you with trusted lenders.
The home-buying process varies, but on average, it can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days once you have an accepted offer. We’re here to help every step of the way, making the process as efficient as possible.

Financial & Commission Questions

Typically, the seller pays the agent commission, which is split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents. This means buyers generally don’t have to pay commission fees directly. We’ll explain the details so you fully understand any costs involved in your transaction.
