BUYING WITH IMPACT REALTY
Buyers Consultation
The first move matters most.
We start with a one-on-one consultation where we listen first and guide second. We will learn about your goals, priorities, and timeline—and build a plan around them. We explain the entire buying process clearly so you know what to expect before you make your first offer.
Your time matters
We create a custom home search based on your needs, not random listings.
We will monitor new opportunities daily and send you matches that fit—not ones that waste your time. When the right home appears, you will be ready to act with confidence.
The Buying Process
Your Next Move Starts Here
Buying a home is a big decision. We make it a clear and guided one. Whether it’s your first purchase or your next, Impact Realty is here to help you move forward with confidence.
1
Choosing a Real Estate Agent
The right agent changes everything. We start by listening—to your goals, your timeline, your non-negotiables. Then we build a plan that fits, not forces. At Impact Realty, real estate is not about transactions. It is about relationships.
2
Pre-Approval for a Mortgage
Before you search, you need to know where you stand. We help you connect with trusted lenders who can pre-approve you based on your financial picture. Pre-approval strengthens your position and saves time once you find the right property.

Finding the Right Property
Finding a home is part strategy, part instinct. We work side by side with you to identify properties that match what matters most. Neighborhoods, schools, commute times, future value—we weigh every factor together.

Making an Offer
When you find the right home, timing and precision matter. We help you structure a strong offer, negotiate with confidence, and navigate the process all the way to close. No guesswork. No surprises.

Frequently Ask Questions
What is the first step to buying a home in Southern California?
The first step is getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This tells you how much home you can afford and shows sellers you’re a serious buyer.
How long does it take to buy a house in Southern California?
Most buyers take 1–3 months to find a home. Once your offer is accepted, the closing process usually takes 30 to 45 days.
Do I need 20% down to buy a house in California?
No. Many first-time buyers use loans with 3%–10% down. FHA, VA, and conventional programs are available depending on your financial situation.
Is it worth using a buyer's agent in California?
Yes. A buyer’s agent helps you navigate listings, negotiate offers, avoid mistakes, and protect your interests—at no cost to you.
How do I choose the right neighborhood in San Diego or North County?
We look at school ratings, commute times, walkability, safety, and future growth to help you compare and choose the best fit for your lifestyle
How many homes should I look at before making an offer?
There’s no right number. Some buyers make an offer after one showing, others after ten. We guide you when the right opportunity appears.
Can I buy a house before selling mine in California?
Yes. With the right financial setup, you can buy before selling. We’ll help you weigh timing, risk, and market conditions to plan the move.
What happens after my offer is accepted on a California home?
You enter escrow. During this period, we help schedule inspections, finalize financing, and meet all deadlines through closing.
