Buyer questions

Where do I start if I want to buy a home?

Start with a conversation with Scott about your budget, timeline, and priorities. From there, he’ll connect you with a trusted lender for pre-approval, set up a personalized search on the MLS, and begin touring homes that actually fit what you’re looking for.

Do I need to be pre-approved before touring homes?

It’s strongly recommended. Pre-approval tells you what you can realistically afford and makes your offer far more competitive when you find the right home, especially in multiple-offer situations. Scott works with reliable local lenders and can point you in the right direction if you don’t already have one.

Does Scott work with first-time buyers?

Yes. Scott regularly works with first-time buyers and takes extra care to explain each step in plain language — from pre-approval and contingencies to inspections and closing costs — so the process feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Can Scott help with new construction, like Toll Brothers communities?

Yes. Scott works with buyers purchasing new construction, including Toll Brothers communities in Porter Ranch and Valencia. He can help you understand builder pricing, upgrade options, and contract terms, and represent your interests even though the builder has its own sales team on-site.

What if I’m relocating to the San Fernando Valley from out of state or internationally?

Scott regularly helps clients relocating to Los Angeles from across the country and abroad. He can arrange virtual tours, provide detailed neighborhood breakdowns covering schools and commute times, and coordinate timing so your move-in lines up with your relocation schedule.

Does Scott work with investors interested in ADUs?

Yes. Scott works with investors exploring accessory dwelling unit (ADU) opportunities and can help identify properties with strong ADU potential, along with general guidance on what to expect from the process.

How much does it cost to work with Scott as a buyer?

In most transactions, the seller covers the buyer’s agent commission, meaning there’s typically no direct cost to you for Scott’s representation as a buyer. He’ll clarify exactly how compensation works for your specific transaction during your first conversation.

What upfront costs should buyers budget for?

Beyond your down payment, plan for closing costs (typically 2–5% of the purchase price), home inspection fees, loan origination fees, and prepaid items like property taxes and homeowners insurance. Scott’s preferred lenders can provide a detailed, itemized estimate once you’re under contract.

Can Scott recommend a lender?

Yes. Scott works with a network of trusted local lenders experienced in the San Fernando Valley market and can connect you with options suited to your situation.
