    Kris narrows the options and points out what matters — and what doesn't.

  4. Make a smart offer

A short conversation is usually enough to get clear on budget, timing and the neighborhoods worth seeing first.

Buyer questions, answered

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan program. Some options allow very little down, while others ask for more. A mortgage professional can show what fits your situation, and Kris can help you plan the rest of your budget around it.

Should I get pre-approved before I start looking?

Yes, ideally. A pre-approval tells you a realistic price range and shows sellers you're ready, which can make your offer stronger.

What should I know about buying near the water in Florida?

Look closely at flood zones, insurance costs, elevation and any HOA or condo rules. These can affect your monthly costs as much as the price itself.

How long does it take to buy a home?

Once an offer is accepted, closing often takes about 30 to 45 days, though it varies by loan type and situation. The search beforehand can be quick or take a few months.

Does it cost me anything to work with Kris as a buyer?

Buyer agent compensation is discussed and agreed in writing before you tour homes. Kris will walk you through the options so there are no surprises.
