1. What’s the current housing market like in Auburn, AL?

Auburn's real estate market is active, especially during spring and summer. Inventory can be tight, but new listings and developments are growing. Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s smart to act strategically with a local expert who knows the trends.

3. Is now a good time to buy a home in Auburn?

That depends on your goals, but with interest rates fluctuating and inventory rising, now can be a great time - especially if you plan to stay long-term or invest near Auburn University.

4. What should I do to get my house ready to sell?

Start by decluttering, touching up paint, and making minor repairs. I also offer free pre-listing consultations to help you prioritize improvements and maximize appeal.

5. How long does it take to buy or sell a home?

Most buyers close in 30–45 days after contract. For sellers, the timeline varies based on pricing, prep, and market demand - but homes priced right in Auburn often go under contract quickly.

7. Do I need to get pre-approved before looking at homes?

I strongly encourage you to - it's one of the best first steps. A pre-approval shows sellers you’re serious and helps you shop confidently within your price range.  And you won't be surprised by your monthly budget and closing costs when you find the perfect home.

8. What are typical closing costs in Alabama?

For buyers, closing costs usually range from 2–6% of the purchase price. Sellers costs are less, usually only paying some title work fees and wood infestation report fees. I’ll walk you through what to expect and where you might save.

9. Do you work with first-time home buyers?

All the time! I love helping first-time buyers understand the process, from mortgage prep to moving day. No question is too small - seriously, ask away.

10. Why should I work with you instead of listing or buying on my own?

Because this isn’t just a transaction—it’s one of the biggest decisions of your life. I bring local insight, tough negotiation skills, and a full-time commitment to helping you succeed with less stress and better results.
