Buyer FAQs

Every home search starts with questions. Some you expect, others catch you off guard. That’s where we come in. JLux Properties helps you make sense of the moving parts, timing, strategy, and finances without being overwhelmed. Whether you’re buying your first home or your fifth, we’ll help you move forward with confidence and clarity. That’s why we’ve pulled together some of the most common things our clients ask when they’re buying in Newnan, Senoia, and surrounding areas. From juggling two properties to figuring out your budget, here’s what you need to know.

Can I buy a home and sell my current one at the same time?

Yes, and it happens more often than you’d think. Buying and selling simultaneously requires tight coordination, clear communication, and often a few creative solutions. That’s where we come in. Our team helps line up the pieces, whether it’s negotiating a rent-back agreement, aligning closing dates, or using a bridge loan to smooth out the gap. Timing is everything, especially in a competitive market like Newnan or Senoia. The goal? Avoid double moves, double mortgages, or any unnecessary stress. We’ll guide you through the strategy that fits your situation best because no two moves are the same. If you’re unsure where to begin, a quick conversation can clarify a lot.

How long does it take to close on a home?

Most closings take between 30 to 45 days once your offer is accepted. But don’t let that number fool you. There’s a lot happening during that window. You’ll move through inspections, appraisals, underwriting, and paperwork galore. If you’re paying cash, things can speed up significantly. If you’re financing, the lender’s timeline will be a key factor. The good news? We’ll be there to keep things moving, anticipate hiccups, and translate every cryptic email along the way. Our job is to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, especially when your schedule’s tight or your move is complex.

Why should I use a Realtor to help me buy a home?

Because you’re not just buying walls and a roof, you’re investing in your lifestyle. A good Realtor (like us) goes beyond listings. We’re your advocate in negotiations, your strategist when inventory gets tight, and your local guide when you’re new to the area. At JLux Properties, we bring insider knowledge of the Newnan and Senoia markets, plus deep connections that can surface off-market gems before anyone else sees them. And here’s the kicker: as a buyer, you don’t pay our fee, and the seller does. So, if you’re wondering whether a Realtor is worth it, the answer is a resounding yes.

How much house can I afford?

It depends, but we can help you figure that out. Affordability isn’t just about what the bank approves you for. It’s also about what feels comfortable month to month. Your lifestyle, income, debt, and savings all play a role. First-time homebuyer? We’ll walk you through pre-approval and help you understand the numbers beyond the price tag: taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and maintenance. Cash buyer? We’ll help you navigate the strategy behind making your money work harder. The goal isn’t to stretch to your limit; it’s to find a place you love and can truly live in in the long term.
