Frequently Asked Questions on the Home Buying Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At HHHunt, we believe it\u2019s how you live that matters\nand one of our Brand\nPromises and Values<\/a> is to be Customer Focused. Part of that commitment is\nexceeding expectations. Earlier this month, we outlined some frequently asked\nquestions about the home\nbuilding process<\/a>. This week, we want to go over some of the frequent questions\nwe receive regarding the home buying process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use my own Realtor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is yes! We want you to feel as comfortable\nas possible during the home buying process, and if that includes using your own\nRealtor, then we welcome that. We have wonderful relationships with Realtors across\nRichmond, Williamsburg, Hampton Roads, and Raleigh and would love the\nopportunity to work with them to build your dream home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the first step in the process?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the first things to consider is how much home you can\nafford. The Home\nAffordability Calculator<\/a> from Realtor.com is a great tool that takes your\nannual income, monthly debt, and down payment into consideration. You should\nalso find out your credit score as this will weigh heavily on what mortgage\nrate you will receive and could save you thousands in interest. To improve your\ncredit score, pay off any short-term debts, such as credit card debt, and pay\nyour bills on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to be pre-approved for a mortgage? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You do not need to be pre-approved for a mortgage to visit\nany of our new home communities. However, we recommend that you begin the\nprocess as soon as possible. It can help estimate your mortgage payment and save\ntime down the road when you\u2019re ready to buy. HHHunt Homes works with some of\nthe best lenders with a legacy of superior customer service and quality\nfinancial products. Our relationship with each lender is not based on referral\nfees. Instead, we choose to refer our customers to our preferred lenders\nbecause they understand our business. They listen to our needs and the needs of\nour customers. You can check out our Lender\nPartners by region<\/a> on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I select a home, do you provide assistance in selecting finishes and decorating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. Our homebuyers get to experience a design\ngallery<\/a> unlike anything you\u2019ll see from other builders. We realize that\nbuying a home is one of the biggest purchases you will ever make, and we want\nit to be as unique as you are. Our Smart Living\nCollection<\/a> features an onsite design center conveniently located in the\nmodel home. Our professional designers remove the stress and guesswork from the\ndesign process and provide a personal viewing experience of all options\navailable for your home. With decades of experience, our design team is\ncontinually researching new design trends and features. They will answer your\nquestions and provide recommendations based on your personal style preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will my new home come with a warranty? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes! If maintenance issues do arise, they may be covered\nunder the home warranty that comes with new homes. HHHunt Homes offers\nhomebuyers with an express 10-year Builder\u2019s Limited Warranty that covers\nworkmanship and materials, major systems, and structural elements. This is the\nbest warranty program available today!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just some of the questions that we often receive.\nOver the coming months, we will continue to add more frequently asked questions\non our blog. Our commitment to being a Customer Focused company means we will\nalways be honest and transparent with you. We invite you to come explore the\nHHHunt difference today by visiting one of our new home communities in Richmond<\/a>, Williamsburg<\/a>,\nHampton\nRoads<\/a>, or Raleigh<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
