FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be pre-approved before touring homes?+
You don't need pre-approval to start looking, but it's a good idea to get pre-approved before making an offer. It clarifies your budget and makes your offer stronger in a competitive situation.
How long does buying a home typically take?+
It varies widely based on your search criteria and the market. Once under contract, closing typically takes several weeks to allow time for financing, inspection, and appraisal.
What's the difference between a home valuation and an appraisal?+
A home valuation from Andy is a market-informed opinion of value based on comparable properties and current conditions. A formal appraisal is a separate, licensed process typically required by a lender during a transaction.
Do you work with buyers relocating from out of state?+
Yes — relocation clients often need extra context on neighborhoods, commute patterns, and logistics. Reach out and share your situation so the search can be tailored to it.
How do you determine a listing price for my home?+
Pricing is based on recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and your property's specific condition and features — not a generic formula.
Is the property information on this site live and up to date?+
Yes — this site is connected to a live MLS feed for Miami-Dade County and the surrounding South Florida market, refreshed at the required interval. If a specific listing looks off or you don't see one you're expecting, reach out and Andy can confirm its current status directly.
