FAQ

Buyer questions, answered.

How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the loan program. Conventional financing often starts at 3–5%, FHA at 3.5%, and VA/USDA can be 0% down. Tony connects you with lenders who quote scenarios side-by-side.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Absolutely. Roughly half of Tony's buyers are purchasing for the first time. Every step is explained clearly, in English or Spanish.
Can I search off-market or coming-soon homes?
Yes. Tony's Keller Williams network surfaces pocket listings and pre-market properties that never hit the public MLS.
What are closing costs?
Typically 2–3% of the purchase price for buyers in California. Tony provides a full estimate before you write an offer so nothing is a surprise.
