Where Steven helps buyers
Choose a town to ask about buying there.
From a buyer.
Mr Thames is tenacious and determined to find the perfect living space specifically for you be it a single family home, a townhouse condo or apartment. As a matter of fact, we consider him our FAMILY REALTOR since afterall he found the townhouse my sister and I purchased, the home my Aunt purchased when she relocated to the Wash-Met area from Delaware, AND found an occupant for our rental property. We have and will continue to refer our family, friends and coworkers to Steven as he has always delivered with perserverence and plain old fashioned determination. If you are not completely satified, his job is not done. What I appreciate most about him is he does NOT watse your time looking at properties that do not meet your specifications. If you need a realtor who is honest and considers YOUR wants and needs above all else, Steven Thames is your one stop shop for your realty needs. Thank you.
What buyers ask
How much do I need for a down payment?
Some loans need very little down and others need more. A lender can tell you what you qualify for, and Steven can put you in touch with one.
How long does it take to buy a home?
Finding the right home is the part nobody can time. Once your offer is accepted, closing usually takes several weeks with a mortgage and less with cash.
Do I pay the agent who helps me buy?
Sometimes the seller pays it and sometimes the buyer does. Steven explains the fee, and who is expected to pay it, before you sign anything.
What are closing costs?
They are the fees due when the sale closes, such as lender fees, title work and insurance. Your lender gives you a written estimate early, so there are no surprises.
Should I get pre-approved first?
Yes, if you are getting a mortgage. A pre-approval tells you what you can spend, and sellers take your offer more seriously with one.
