Frequently Asked Questions

Navigating real estate can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone! Whether you’re buying, selling, renting, or managing a property, we’re here to provide clear, expert answers to your most pressing questions. Explore our FAQs to make informed decisions with confidence.

Buyers

How do I find the right tenants for my rental property?

We use a thorough tenant screening process, including background checks, credit history, and rental references, ensuring you get responsible and reliable tenants.

What are my responsibilities as a landlord?

As a landlord, you must provide a safe and habitable living environment, respond to maintenance requests, and comply with local rental laws. We can guide you through the process.

Should I hire a property manager?

If you want a hassle-free experience, a property manager can handle tenant relations, maintenance, and rent collection for you. We can help you decide if it’s the right move!

Landlords

What’s the first step in buying a home?

The first step is getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This helps you understand your budget and shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer. We can connect you with trusted lenders to start this process.

How much should I save for a down payment?

It depends on the loan type! Some loans allow as little as 3.5% down, while others may require 10-20%. We’ll help you explore financing options that work for your situation.

How do I know if a home is priced fairly?

We provide Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) reports, comparing similar homes in the area to ensure you make an informed offer. With Lean on Lundy, you’ll never overpay!

Sellers

How do I determine the right price for my home?

Pricing your home correctly is key to selling fast and at top dollar. We analyze market trends, comparable sales, and your home’s unique features to set the best price.

What’s the best way to prepare my home for sale

First impressions matter! Declutter, stage key areas, and improve curb appeal. We offer personalized guidance to showcase your home at its best.

How long does it take to sell a home?

It depends on the market, pricing, and demand. On average, well-priced homes sell within 30-60 days. We use strategic marketing to help you sell faster and for more money.

Tenants

What do I need to qualify for a rental?

Most landlords require proof of income, a credit check, and rental history. We help tenants navigate this process smoothly and find the best rental options.

Can my landlord increase rent anytime?

Rent increases must follow local laws and lease agreements. Typically, landlords must give 30-60 days’ notice before adjusting rent. We can help you understand your rights.

What should I do if I have maintenance issues?

Always notify your landlord or property manager in writing as soon as possible. Urgent repairs (like plumbing or heating issues) should be addressed quickly under tenant protection laws.
