Have questions about buying a home? We've got answers.
How do I get started with buying a home?
Start by connecting with us! We’ll guide you through every step—from finding the right lender for pre-approval to setting up property searches based on your goals. We’ll also sign a Buyer Agency Agreement so we can officially represent you and advocate for your best interests throughout the process.
What is a pre-approval, and why do I need one?
Pre-approval is a letter from a lender confirming your financial qualifications. It shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and is required when submitting an offer. We can recommend trusted lenders who move quickly—even on weekends.
How much money do I need for a down payment?
Down payments vary, but 5% is common in our area. Some loan programs offer options as low as 3%. We’ll help you understand your financing choices so you can make the best decision for your situation.
How long does the buying process take?
From accepted offer to closing, the timeline is usually 4–6 weeks. It may vary depending on lender speed, inspections, and how quickly documents are provided. We keep you on track through each step to avoid delays.
What costs should I expect besides the down payment?
Expect to pay for:
-
A home inspection
-
An appraisal
-
Attorney fees
-
Title search and closing costs
-
One year of homeowners insurance
We’ll help you estimate and prepare for these expenses upfront.
Can I buy a home if I need to sell my current home first?
Yes! We can help coordinate both transactions. Whether you need to sell first or buy with a contingency, we’ll build a strategy that supports your timeline and protects your interests.
What if I want to buy a vacation home or investment property?
We can absolutely help with that. Whether you’re buying in Massachusetts or beyond, we’ll walk you through financing options, tax implications, and the different types of inspections and insurance you may need.
Can you help me buy a home outside of Massachusetts?
Yes! While we specialize in Western MA, we have a trusted network of agents across the region and country. We’ll connect you with a local expert who shares our client-first approach—wherever you’re headed.
Why should I work with Happy Valley Realty Group?
We combine deep local knowledge with full-service support—handling everything from offer strategy to closing coordination. Our goal is to make the process smooth, transparent, and enjoyable, so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
