First-time buyer
questions answered.

With an FHA loan you need a minimum of 3.5% for the down payment plus closing costs, which typically run 2 to 5% of the purchase price. On a $350,000 home that could be as low as $19,000 to $30,000 total. Many buyers have this in savings and do not realize they are already close to ready. The first step is a free strategy call to look at your actual numbers.
For an FHA loan the minimum credit score is 580. Conventional loans typically require 620 or higher. If your score is below 580 it does not mean you cannot buy. It means we create a plan to get you there. Sebastian works with buyers at every stage of readiness.
From the first strategy call to closing, the average buyer timeline in Broward is 60 to 90 days once you are pre-approved. The pre-approval process itself usually takes 3 to 7 days. Sebastian builds a timeline around your life, not the other way around.
In most transactions the seller pays the buyer's agent commission. Working with Sebastian as your buyer's agent typically costs you nothing out of pocket. You get professional representation, market analysis, negotiation strategy, and full guidance through the process at no direct cost to you.
Based on 2026 market data, yes. Broward County insurance rates are declining for the first time in years, the FHA loan limit is at $621,000, and mortgage rates are competitive. Buyers who wait often find that rents increase faster than their savings. A strategy call will tell you exactly where you stand.
It depends on the type of employment. W2 employees typically need 30 days of pay stubs to qualify. Self-employed buyers generally need two years of tax returns. If you recently changed jobs in the same field, lenders are often flexible. Sebastian will connect you with the right lending partner to get a clear answer fast.
