Faqs
frequently asked Questions
Do I need to be pre-approved before I start looking at homes?
We strongly recommend it. Pre-approval tells you exactly what you can afford, strengthens your offers in a competitive market, and signals to sellers that you’re a serious buyer. We can connect you with trusted local lenders who will make the process quick and straightforward.
How long does the home buying process take?
It varies depending on your timeline, the market, and your financing. On average, buyers in Central Florida find a home within 30–90 days of beginning their search, and closing typically takes 30–45 days after an accepted offer. We’ll work at whatever pace makes sense for you.
Do you work with buyers who have less-than-perfect credit?
Does it cost me anything to work with a Château buyer's agent?
What if I find a home online — can I still use Château?
What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
