Buy With Us: Buying A Home The Right Way

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make, and who's beside you changes how it goes. I'm Dennis Mark Interdonato. Opening doors and writing offers is the small part of the job. The real work is strategy, clarity, and telling you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Being in the building and remodeling industry since 2003 means I walk through a house the way a contractor does: the roof, the systems, and what a fix will really cost. Put that next to the market data, and you buy with your eyes open.

MY FOCUS IS ON YOUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION

Transforming Homes & Lives

I grew up in a blue-collar family, surrounded by new construction and remodeling. After college I joined the family business and spent the first 20 years of my career learning from my father. When we started flipping houses, I fell in love with real estate. I've been licensed since 2006 and a full-time REALTOR® since 2019, and I've worked on and sold about every kind of home there is: every age, every style and everything in between.

Buying In The Current Market

Buying for the first time, or haven't bought in years? Here are straight answers to the questions buyers ask most. This is general information, not legal or lending advice.

What's the first step in buying a home?

Get pre-approved for a mortgage. A lender's pre-approval letter tells you what you can spend and tells sellers you're serious. It sets the ball rolling the right way.

How long does it take to buy a home?

Roughly 10 to 12 weeks, from searching online to closing. Once you choose a home and your offer is accepted, closing usually takes 30 to 45 days under normal market conditions. Well-prepared cash buyers can move faster.

How much do I need for a down payment?

The average down payment in the United States is 11%, and that figure includes both first-time and repeat buyers. If the equity in your current home is paying for the down payment on your next one, your current home has to sell first, and we plan the timing around that together.

Should I look at homes online or in person?

Both. Browsing homes and photos online has made searching more convenient than ever. Nothing beats walking through a house in person to see how it looks and feels.

How long does a seller have to respond to my offer?

Your written offer should set that deadline. Twenty-four hours is usually enough time for a seller to respond.

Should I wait for mortgage rates to drop before I buy?

Waiting is how you end up competing with a lot more buyers. A drop from 7% to 6% would add a crowd to the pool who can afford the median-priced home: about 5.5 million households, according to NAR. If the monthly payment works and the home is right, buy it. Fewer buyers now means less competition for you.

Can you help me buy a foreclosure?

Yes. A bank-owned home is listed for sale, so we can tour it, run the numbers and plan the offer, knowing it's usually sold as-is. A sheriff's sale is different: it's a county auction with no inspection, 20% down when you win and the balance in 30 days, and liens can come with the property. I'll help you size one up from the outside with a builder's eye, and your attorney handles the title search before you bid.
