Connect With a LenderWhile it's not technically required to view homes, Luke strongly recommends getting pre-approved first. A pre-approval letter tells sellers you're a serious buyer, strengthens your offer significantly, and ensures you're shopping in the right price range. Luke can connect you with trusted local lenders who offer fast, competitive pre-approvals.
It depends on your loan type. Conventional loans typically require 3–20% down. FHA loans (great for first-time buyers) require as little as 3.5% down with a credit score of 580+. VA loans (for veterans) and USDA loans (for eligible rural areas) can offer 0% down. Luke can help you understand your options and connect you with a lender who specializes in your situation.
In most transactions, the seller pays the buyer's agent commission, meaning Luke's services typically cost you nothing out of pocket. As of 2024, commission structures have evolved — Luke will walk you through a clear buyer representation agreement in your first meeting so you fully understand the arrangement before committing to anything.
Once you're in contract on a home, escrow typically takes 21–45 days for a financed purchase, or as few as 7–14 days for cash buyers. The time from starting your search to closing varies widely — some buyers find their home in the first week, others take several months. Luke sets up your search to alert you the moment new homes matching your criteria hit the market, so you never miss an opportunity.
Real estate is hyperlocal and highly personal. The "right time" to buy depends on your financial readiness, your timeline, and your goals — not just market conditions.
