FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions from Baltimore Home Buyers

Is it a good time to buy a home in Baltimore County?

Baltimore County continues to offer strong value compared to many Mid-Atlantic markets. While interest rates fluctuate, waiting often means competing against more buyers and higher prices. Bessie can help you assess current conditions and find your window of opportunity.

How much do I need for a down payment in Maryland?

Down payment requirements vary. Conventional loans may require as little as 3–5%, FHA loans as low as 3.5%, and VA/USDA loans may require zero down for eligible buyers. Maryland also offers down payment assistance programs through DHCD. We'll connect you with the right resources.

What are closing costs in Maryland?

In Maryland, buyers typically pay 2–5% of the purchase price in closing costs, which includes lender fees, title insurance, transfer taxes, and prepaid items. We walk you through a detailed estimate early so you're never caught off guard.

How long does it take to buy a home in Baltimore County?

From pre-approval to closing, the process typically takes 45–60 days once you're under contract. Finding the right home can take a few weeks to several months depending on your criteria. We work efficiently so you don't miss the right opportunity.

Do I need a buyer's agent when purchasing a home?

Absolutely — and in most cases, the seller pays your buyer's agent's commission, meaning expert representation costs you nothing out of pocket. Bessie and her team advocate exclusively for your interests, not the seller's.

Does Regal Realty help with investment properties?

Yes! Bessie has extensive experience working with investors across Baltimore County and Baltimore City — from single-family rentals to multifamily properties. We can help you identify high-potential opportunities and run the numbers.
