Common buyer questions.
How much do I need for a down payment?+
It varies — from as little as 3% for some conventional loans to 20% for the strongest offers. We'll connect you with lenders to explore your options.
Do buyers pay their agent's commission?+
In most Kartar Realty transactions the seller compensates the buyer's agent, but this is negotiated per transaction and we'll walk you through it upfront.
How long does it take to buy a home?+
From pre-approval to keys, most of our buyers close in 45–75 days depending on financing and inspection timelines.
