The five mistakes I see first-time buyers make most in PG County, and how to avoid every one.

Skipping pre-approval and shopping on a guessed budget, draining the whole down payment, waiving inspections to compete, assuming you need 20% down, and chasing the lowest rate instead of the right lender, all five are easy to avoid once you know they're coming.

Comment "FIRST" and I'll DM you a checklist to walk through before you start touring homes.

You don't need 20% down to buy in PG County.

FHA loans start at 3.5% down. Some conventional programs go as low as 3%. The 20% number is a rule of thumb, not a requirement.

Comment "QUALIFY" and I'll DM you to connect with a trusted lender who can give you a clear picture of your actual options.

If you're thinking about buying your first home somewhere in the DMV and you're not quite sure where to start, I put together something I think will really help.

It's a guide that walks through what buying actually looks like here in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. I get into the down payment help a lot of first-time buyers don't realize is out there, including a few Prince George's County programs that can go up to $50,000. I also cover why you really don't need 20% down, the closing costs people tend to forget about, and how the whole thing moves along from your first question all the way to the day you get your keys.

I made it because I wish every first-time buyer had something like this before they got started. My goal isn't to sell you on anything, I just want you to feel like you actually understand the process before you're in the middle of it.

If you'd like a copy, comment GUIDE below or send me a DM, and I'll send it to you.

Before we talk about listing, let's figure out what's actually best for you.

Most sellers jump straight to "what's my house worth." The better starting point is these five questions, why you're selling, how fast you need it done, what shape the property's in, what you owe, and whether you can handle two moves at once.

The right path (cash, novation, or a traditional listing) depends on all five together, not just the number on the listing sheet.

Comment "SELL" and I'll DM you to walk through your answers.

$440K buys you a lot more than people think.

That's the median sale price in PG County right now.

Here's what it's up against:

📍 Washington DC — $695K
📍 Montgomery County — $695K
📍 Fairfax County — $813K

Same commute. Sometimes the same style of home. A gap of $250K or more.

If you've been priced out of those markets, you haven't been priced out of this one.

I can show you exactly what that budget gets you in Cheverly, Hyattsville, Bowie, University Park, or Upper Marlboro.

Drop your target area in the comments and I'll tell you what's realistic there right now. Or skip straight to it — text or call me and I'll pull real listings, not just averages.
