Financing Your Dream Home

Understanding your financing options is the single most important step in the home buying process. A strong pre-approval gives you a competitive edge and the confidence to move decisively when the right property appears.

From first-time buyer programs to jumbo loans for luxury estates — we’ll connect you with the right loan product for your specific situation and goals.

Creative Financing Options

Seller financing, lease-options, and investment-grade structures that go beyond traditional lending. Ask us what’s possible — you may be surprised by your options.

Common Questions

Buyer FAQ

Everything you need to know about buying a home in Texas — answered honestly, without the jargon.

What is the option period in Texas?+
In Texas, buyers negotiate an “option period” — typically 7 to 10 days — during which you can terminate the contract for any reason by paying a small option fee to the seller. This window is used to complete inspections and due diligence. If you walk away during the option period, you forfeit only the option fee but your earnest money is returned to you in full. It’s one of the most buyer-friendly protections in the Texas contract — and we make sure you use it wisely.
How much earnest money do I need in Texas?+
Earnest money in Texas is typically 1% of the purchase price, though competitive markets or luxury transactions may call for more. The funds are held in escrow by the title company and applied toward your down payment or closing costs at closing. If you terminate outside of a protected contingency, you risk losing your earnest money — which is why having an experienced agent managing your timeline matters.
What are typical closing costs for buyers in Texas?+
Buyers in Texas typically pay between 2% and 4% of the purchase price in closing costs. This includes lender origination fees, title insurance (both lender’s and owner’s policies), appraisal, survey, prepaid property taxes, and homeowner’s insurance escrow. Your lender is required to provide a Loan Estimate within three business days of your application — so you’ll know the numbers upfront with no surprises at the closing table.
What’s the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?+
Pre-qualification is a quick, informal estimate based on self-reported information — it’s a starting point, not a commitment. Pre-approval involves a full credit check, income verification, and asset review by an underwriter. In any market, only a pre-approval letter carries real weight with sellers. We always recommend getting fully pre-approved before you tour a single property.
How long does the home buying process take in Texas?+
From accepted offer to keys in hand, most financed purchases close in 30 to 45 days. Cash purchases can close in as little as 7 to 14 days. The timeline from your first consultation to finding the right property depends on your criteria and market conditions — we’ve guided buyers to close in under two weeks and helped others through a six-month search for exactly the right home. We work at your pace.
Should I ever waive the home inspection?+
We never recommend waiving your inspection — even on new construction homes. A professional inspection reveals defects, gives you negotiation leverage, and protects you from costly surprises after closing. In competitive markets, we use strategic offer techniques to make your offer strong without sacrificing this critical protection. Your inspection is non-negotiable in our eyes, and we’ll always fight to keep it in your contract.
What is the Texas homestead exemption and how do I apply?+
Texas law allows homeowners to apply for a homestead exemption on their primary residence, which can reduce your annual property tax bill by thousands of dollars. You must own and occupy the home as your primary residence as of January 1 of the tax year. Applications are generally due by April 30 and filed with your local appraisal district. We remind every buyer we close with to file — it’s one of the most valuable benefits of Texas homeownership.
Do buyers pay real estate commission in Texas?+
Per updated NAR guidelines effective 2024, you will be asked to sign a Buyer Representation Agreement before touring homes. This agreement outlines our services and compensation structure. In many transactions, sellers still offer buyer-agent compensation — but it is now negotiated separately. We walk every buyer through this process in complete transparency before we ever look at a property together. No surprises. Ever.
