Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common buying & selling questions
Buying
At Romano Realty, the home buying process starts with understanding your financial readiness by getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Monica Albert and her team will help you search for homes using their website, schedule tours, and guide you through making offers and closing. They partner with lending and inspection experts to ensure a smooth experience tailored to your needs.
Getting pre-approved means a lender has reviewed your income, assets, debts, and credit to determine your borrowing capacity. Romano Realty recommends obtaining pre-approval before house hunting, as offers accompanied by a pre-approval letter are more compelling to sellers, especially in competitive markets.
You can use the Romano Realty website to search for homes by various filters such as price, bedrooms, and neighborhoods. Signing up for Listing Alerts ensures you get immediate email notifications when new properties that fit your wish list hit the market, giving you an edge to act quickly.
Once you find a property you like on the Romano Realty website, click the 'IN PERSON TOUR' button to schedule a showing. Alternatively, you can call Monica Albert directly. For social distancing or convenience, virtual video tours are also available, where an agent guides you through the home remotely.
Romano Realty partners with trusted professionals to manage inspections, appraisals, and escrow. Monica Albert oversees the process, ensuring deadlines are met and your interests are protected. This support helps make closing stress-free so you can focus on moving into your new home.
Selling
Monica Albert and the Romano Realty team analyze active, pending, and recently sold comparable properties along with current market trends to recommend the optimal listing price. This pricing strategy aims to sell your home for the best price within your desired timeframe.
Your listing will feature professional photos, 3D walkthroughs, and videos to create a compelling online presence. The property is marketed across agent websites, popular home search portals, search engines, and social media platforms to reach the widest audience possible.
Romano Realty’s technology-enabled approach allows you to sell your home virtually with listing consultations via video calls, virtual open houses, and online offer submissions. Closing documents can be signed electronically, minimizing in-person contact while ensuring a smooth transaction.
While timelines vary, Romano Realty uses market data and expert marketing to position your home competitively. You’ll receive real-time updates via Brivity technology, keeping you informed from listing through closing to ensure a seamless experience.
Romano Realty advises prioritizing necessary repairs and decluttering to make your home appealing. Professional staging and high-quality photos will highlight your home’s best features, attracting more buyers and potentially increasing your sale price.
Financing
Romano Realty recommends starting with pre-approval to understand your borrowing power. Next, work with a trusted lender to select the best loan program. After your offer is accepted, complete the mortgage application and processing steps, including appraisal and underwriting. Finally, set up homeowners insurance and attend closing to complete your purchase.
To get pre-approved, provide your lender with W-2s, pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and authorization to pull your credit report. Romano Realty partners with top lenders who guide you through this process to secure a conditional loan commitment.
Romano Realty’s preferred lenders offer a variety of loan programs. Your lender will help you choose based on your income, credit score, down payment, and property type to find the best fit for your financial situation and home purchase goals.
Once your offer is accepted, the mortgage process includes underwriting, appraisal, and title searches. Romano Realty coordinates with your lender and title company to keep the timeline on track and ensure a smooth closing experience.
