Buyer questions, answered.

How much do I need for earnest money in Ohio?

Earnest money in Central Ohio typically runs 1–2% of the purchase price, held in escrow and credited toward your closing costs. In competitive offers, a higher deposit can strengthen your position.

What are escalation clauses, and should I use one?

An escalation clause automatically raises your offer above competing bids up to a cap you set. Useful in multiple-offer situations, but it can reveal your ceiling — we’ll walk through when it helps and when it doesn’t.

What closing costs should I budget for?

Buyers typically budget 2–4% of the purchase price for closing costs, covering lender fees, title insurance, and prepaid escrow items. Your loan estimate will spell out the exact figure once you’re under contract.

Do you help with HUD homes, short sales, or new construction?

Yes — all three are part of our regular practice, alongside standard resale purchases. Each has its own timeline and paperwork, and we’ll flag what’s different before you write an offer.

I'm relocating for a new job — can we do this remotely?

Yes. We regularly work with relocating buyers through video walk-throughs and detailed neighborhood breakdowns before you fly in for a single in-person tour of your finalists.
