Buy a Home

You fall in love with the home. I'll help make sure the home deserves your love. Explore homes with Mark Rankin at eXp Realty and bring your questions about condition, cost, and the buying process.

Understand your budget before your search

Start with a monthly payment you are comfortable carrying and discuss financing with a qualified lender. Consider property taxes, insurance, association fees, maintenance, and closing costs alongside the purchase price. Use the mortgage calculator to explore scenarios. Its estimates are a starting point; confirm loan terms and property-specific costs before making a commitment.

Look beyond the listing photos

Search by city, address, or ZIP, then share the properties that interest you and your must-haves with Mark. Consider the layout, condition, maintenance, and location in relation to your own plans. Before an offer, discuss price, financing, contingencies, and timing. Ask how inspections and professional evaluations can help you understand potential repair costs and risks. A listing description is a starting point for due diligence.

Ask about a property or plan your next move

Send the listing address or link with your question. If you are still planning, share your preferred location, timeline, and the parts of the process you want help understanding. Mark can follow up about a useful next step. Moving beyond the local market? Ask Mark about a referral to an agent in your destination. Direct representation and referral arrangements depend on the location and your needs.
