How Can I Help You?

Whether you're renting, buying, or selling — here's exactly what you need to know and what to expect every step of the way.

Should You Rent or Buy Right Now?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The right choice depends on your finances, lifestyle, and future plans. Here are the key factors to consider:

🏘 Renting May Be Better If...
You plan to move within 2-3 years
You want flexibility without maintenance responsibilities
Your credit score or savings need more time to grow
You are new to an area and still exploring neighborhoods
Home prices in your target area are very high relative to rents
🏠 Buying May Be Better If...
You plan to stay in the area for 5+ years
You have a stable income and good credit score (620+)
You want to build equity and long-term wealth
You are ready for the responsibility of homeownership
Mortgage payments would be similar to or less than rent

Key Factors to Compare

💵 The 5% Rule

A quick way to compare: multiply the home price by 5%, then divide by 12. If that monthly amount is MORE than rent — renting may make more financial sense right now.

What Renting Costs
Monthly rent payments (no equity built)
Renters insurance (~$15-30/month)
Risk of annual rent increases
Move-in costs: 2-3 months upfront
What Buying Costs
Down payment (3.5-20% of home price)
Closing costs (2-5% of loan amount)
Monthly mortgage + taxes + insurance + HOA
Maintenance costs (~1-2% of home value per year)
