helpful Questions & Answers

  • How do I start the process of buying a home?

    To begin the home-buying process, start by assessing your budget and obtaining pre-approval for a mortgage. Then, work with a real estate agent to identify suitable properties, tour homes, and negotiate an offer. Once your offer is accepted, proceed with inspections and finalize the closing details.

  • What factors should I consider when determining the value of my property?

    Several factors influence a property's value, including its location, size, condition, comparable sales in the area, and current market trends. A professional appraisal and consultation with a real estate agent can provide a more accurate valuation.

  • How long does it typically take to sell a house?

    The time it takes to sell a house can vary based on factors such as market conditions, location, and property type. On average, it may take a few days to several months. Proper pricing, effective marketing, and property presentation can expedite the selling process.

  • What is the role of a real estate agent, and do I really need one?

    Real estate agents serve as intermediaries between buyers and sellers, helping navigate the complex process. While it's possible to buy or sell a property without an agent, their expertise can streamline the process, negotiate better deals, and provide valuable guidance.

  • How does the closing process work?

    The closing process involves finalizing the property sale. It includes completing necessary paperwork, transferring funds, and ensuring all legal requirements are met. Buyers and sellers typically attend a closing meeting with their respective agents, attorneys, and a title company representative.

  • What is a home inspection, and is it necessary?

    A home inspection is a thorough examination of a property's condition, including its structural integrity, systems, and appliances. While not mandatory, it is highly recommended for buyers to identify potential issues. Sellers can also benefit by addressing concerns proactively.

  • What are closing costs, and who is responsible for paying them?

    Closing costs are fees associated with the real estate transaction, such as loan origination fees, appraisal fees, and title insurance. Both buyers and sellers typically have closing costs, with the specific responsibilities outlined in the purchase agreement and subject to negotiation.

  • How can I finance the purchase of a home?

    There are various financing options available, including traditional mortgages, FHA loans, VA loans, and more. To determine the best option, consider factors such as credit score, down payment, and personal financial situation. Consulting with a mortgage advisor can help you find the most suitable financing solution.

Testimonials

This team does their due diligence and holds the realtor code of ethics in the highest regard. Having dealt with realtors who have been shady and unprofessional, we were very pleased to be supported by the Cornerstone Home Group. If you want a team who is professional, kind, and excited for you to succeed - whatever your goals may be - you should look no further.

I had such a fantastic experience working with the team at Cornerstone Home Group. They are so kind and personable. They worked very hard to assuage my fears. It was clear through working together that they are highly respected in the real estate profession of Grand Rapids. I couldn't believe how quickly they were able to find the right home for me. They were kind enough to follow up with me on a few things after closing. I will definitely work with them again when it's time to sell!

We were referred to the Cornerstone Home Group by a friend and do not regret that decision. They went above and beyond to know what we desired in a home, had timely consistent communication, had expert advice, and did it all with the love of God. We found the perfect home we wanted in the perfect timing even in a crazy market. We consider them friends ever since and look forward to working with them again!

It's the first step in the mortgage process, showing you how much you're eligible for and giving you the green light from the lender. Your budget takes shape, and you gain an edge in negotiations, proving your seriousness to sellers.
