FAQs

What is a disclosure package?

A disclosure package contains essential documents that provide detailed information about a property's condition, history, and any known issues. At the Brooke Team, we guide our clients through each disclosure package, offering personalized insights and highlighting key points to ensure you make informed decisions before submitting an offer.​

What is a contingency?

A contingency is a clause in a real estate contract that allows buyers to back out of the purchase under specific conditions without losing their earnest money deposit. Common contingencies include loan approval, appraisal, and home inspection. We help our clients understand and navigate these contingencies to protect their interests.​

What is escrow?

Escrow is a neutral third party that holds funds and documents during the transaction to ensure everything is completed properly. The escrow officer handles the coordination between buyer, seller, and lender, and makes sure all conditions are met before the sale is finalized.

Do you have access to off-market home

Yes, we do. Through our extensive network and eXp Realty's vast resources, we have access to properties that aren't publicly listed, including "Coming Soon" listings, private exclusives, and homes shared through agent networks. This gives our clients a competitive edge in finding unique opportunities.

Do you work with first-time buyers?

Absolutely! Helping first-time buyers is one of our specialties. We’ll explain the process from start to finish, answer all your questions, and be by your side every step of the way. Our goal is to make your first home purchase a positive and exciting experience.

Do I need a pre-approval letter?

Yes, we highly recommend getting pre-approved before beginning your home search. A pre-approval letter shows sellers that you’re a serious and qualified buyer, and it helps you understand your true budget. We can connect you with great lenders who make the process simple and fast.

How do I make an offer?

Once you find the right home, we’ll put together a detailed offer that includes your price, terms, and any contingencies. We’ll explain everything clearly, advise you on how to stay competitive, and take care of submitting your offer on your behalf.

What happens after my offer is accepted?

Once your offer is accepted, we’ll guide you through the next steps: depositing your earnest money, scheduling inspections, completing paperwork, and staying in close contact with your lender and attorney (if needed). We manage the timeline and details so nothing gets missed.

How do you determine the right offer price for a home?

We conduct a thorough comparative market analysis (CMA) to assess the value of similar homes in the area. This analysis, combined with our understanding of current market trends and the property's condition, helps us advise you on a competitive and fair offer price.​

What sets the Brooke Team apart from other real estate teams?

Our commitment to personalized service, deep market knowledge, and leveraging eXp Realty's innovative tools distinguishes us. We prioritize our clients' needs, ensuring transparency, responsiveness, and a tailored approach to each transaction.

Do I need to attend showings in person?

Not always! We’re happy to do virtual showings through FaceTime or Zoom if you're out of town or have a tight schedule. We’ve helped many clients purchase homes remotely by providing clear video tours, honest feedback, and constant communication.

Can you recommend lenders, attorneys, and inspectors?

Absolutely! We work with trusted local professionals and are happy to connect you with lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and other service providers we know and trust. We’ll only recommend people we’d personally hire ourselves.

What are your fees as a buyer’s agent?

In most cases, our commission is paid by the seller, so there is no direct cost to you for our services. We’ll always be transparent about fees and happy to explain how everything works before we move forward.

Can I buy and sell at the same time?

Yes, and we help clients do this all the time. Whether you need to buy first, sell first, or try to coordinate both at once, we’ll create a strategy that works for your timeline and finances. We’ll also keep things as stress-free as possible along the way.

How do I know what neighborhoods are a good fit for me?

We take the time to learn what matters most to you—like schools, commute, local amenities, or quiet streets—and then share insights on neighborhoods that match your lifestyle. We’re local experts, and we’re happy to be your guide.
