Find Your Perfect Home With Expert Buyer Agents
Find and purchase your next home with help from a local Homexa® buyer agent. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, we guide you through every step: home search, offer strategy, inspections, and closing.
How the home buying process works
Get pre-approved for a mortgage
Before touring homes, getting pre-approved tells you exactly what you can afford and shows sellers you are a serious buyer. Your Homexa® agent can connect you with trusted local lenders who offer a range of loan programs.
Search for your perfect home
Your Homexa® buyer agent provides access to all active MLS listings, off-market opportunities, and new construction in your target area, filtered by your priorities: school district, commute, price, and must-have features.
Make a strong, competitive offer
In today's market, offer strategy matters. Your agent analyzes recent comparable sales, current competition, and seller motivation to structure an offer that wins without overpaying.
Close with confidence
From inspection to final walkthrough, your Homexa® agent manages every deadline, coordinates with title and escrow, and makes sure you close on time and on budget.
Why use a Homexa buyer agent
Homexa® matches buyers with an independently licensed buyer's agent in the states where Homexa® operates. A good buyer's agent knows which neighborhoods are appreciating, negotiates with listing agents daily, and has access to real-time listing data. Buyer agent representation is typically paid by the seller, so you receive expert guidance at no extra cost to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a buyer's agent to buy a home?
While not legally required, a buyer's agent provides expert pricing guidance, negotiation, contract review, and inspection coordination. Buyer agents are typically compensated by the seller, so you get professional representation at no out-of-pocket cost.
How long does it take to buy a house?
From accepted offer to closing typically takes 30 to 60 days. The full timeline including home search can range from a few weeks to several months depending on your market, financing, and competition.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Down payment requirements vary by loan type. Conventional loans typically require 3 to 20%, FHA loans require 3.5%, and VA loans require 0% for eligible veterans. Your Homexa® agent can connect you with lenders who have programs for your situation.
What is a buyer's market vs a seller's market?
A buyer's market has more homes for sale than active buyers, giving buyers more negotiating power. A seller's market has more buyers than available homes, leading to competitive offers and faster sales. Your Homexa® agent provides a current analysis of your specific local market.
How do I get the price, lot size, or other details on a listing?
A listing's full details, including price, lot size, and MLS number, appear on the listing itself, and the listing agent can answer anything else. Contact the agent on the listing, or call Homexa® at (253) 300-1000 to be connected with a Homexa® agent.
Can the listing agent also represent me as the buyer?
It depends on your state. Some states allow one agent or brokerage to represent both sides with written disclosure and consent, and some do not allow it at all. Many buyers prefer their own agent. A Homexa® agent can explain how it works in your state and connect you with a buyer's agent if you want separate representation.
How do I find out if land has road access, utilities, or a well?
Check the county's parcel records and maps for legal access and easements, then ask local utilities whether power, water, and sewer can reach the lot. For a well, ask for the well log and any flow test. A Homexa® agent can help you request these records before you make an offer.
How do I check zoning, or whether short-term rentals are allowed?
Zoning comes from the city or county planning office, and short-term rental rules can also come from an HOA or condo association, so check both. A Homexa® agent can help you gather the zoning record and HOA documents before you commit.
How can I find out how old the roof is, or the home's condition?
Start with the seller's disclosure, then get a professional home inspection during your inspection period. Permits on file with the county can also show roof or system replacements. Your Homexa® agent can request what the seller knows and schedule the inspection.
Can I tour a home on the weekend?
Usually, yes. Showings are scheduled with the listing agent and often include evenings and weekends, depending on the seller. Tell your Homexa® agent which times work for you, and they will request the showing.
Can an agent tell me if a neighborhood is safe or if the schools are good?
To follow fair housing guidelines, real estate agents avoid describing neighborhoods as safe or unsafe, or by who lives there. You can check public crime maps from local police, and school ratings and attendance boundaries on the school district's website. A Homexa® agent can share objective information like recent sales, prices, and commute times.
Can Homexa connect me with a local agent to show me homes?
Yes. Homexa® works with independently licensed local agents in 25 U.S. states. Tell Homexa® the area you are searching, and a Homexa® agent who works that market can schedule showings.
