Common Questions常见问题

Good to know你需要了解的

A few things clients ask most often. This is general information, not legal, tax, or lending advice — let’s talk about your specific situation. 客户最常问的几个问题。以下为一般性信息,不构成法律、税务或贷款建议 — 具体情况欢迎和我详谈。

How much will I need up front?前期大概需要准备多少钱?

Plan for earnest money of roughly 1–3% of the price (due within about two business days, and higher in competitive markets), a down payment that is typically around 20% but can be lower with certain loans, and closing costs of about 2–5% covering loan, title, escrow, and tax items.诚意金(Earnest Money)通常为房价的 1–3%,在约 2 个工作日内支付(竞争激烈时可能更高);首付通常约 20%,部分贷款可以更低;过户费用(Closing Costs)约为房价的 2–5%,包括贷款费、产权与托管费、税费等。

What other costs should I budget for?还有哪些费用要预留?

An appraisal fee (ordered by the lender, paid by the buyer) is usually around $1,000; a home inspection runs about $500–$700; and homeowners insurance is typically paid at closing, with the cost varying by home and provider.估价费(Appraisal Fee)由贷款机构下单、买方支付,一般约 1,000 美元;验房费约 500–700 美元;房屋保险通常在过户时支付,费用因房屋和保险公司而异。

How long does it take to close?多久能完成过户?

Usually 30–45 days after offer acceptance. Cash purchases can close faster, while financed deals need time for the appraisal and lender approval.通常在报价被接受后约 30–45 天完成交割。现金购房可能更快,而贷款购房则需要时间进行评估和贷款审批。

Can I back out after the offer is accepted?出价被接受后还能反悔吗?

Yes, if it’s within your contract contingencies (inspection, financing, appraisal). After those timelines, backing out usually means losing your earnest money.可以,如果在合同的附加条件(验房、贷款、估价等)期限内,可以退出而不损失定金。超过期限后再退出,通常会失去诚意金。

I’m new to the U.S. — can you still help?我刚来美国,也能帮我吗?

Yes. I work with clients through the whole process in Chinese and English, and I’ll explain each document and step as we go.可以。我用中英文陪同客户走完全程,每一份文件、每一个步骤都会为你讲解。
