A 15 Year Fixed rate will provide a lower Interest Rate. In return, lowering your amount of paid Interest over the life of the Loan. Qualifying may be more difficult as the Monthly payment will be higher.

Disclosing the amount commissions are paid and how they are paid, should have always been discussed and explained prior to signing any contract. Moving forward that same practice should exist. If you are ready to sell your home now, by all means contact an Agent. There are plenty of Buyers ready to purchase now.

Who you hire depends on the service you will get. An Agent that would reduce the quality of their service before they even got started working for you should be a sign as to how they will handle your sale. An Agent that works hard at earning a fair commissions, is a good sign as how hard they are going to work at the Job you are hiring them to perform.

Many Pre Approvals are 60 days. Check with your lender or the letter they have provided to make sure prior to making an offer.

Marketing and Pricing the home correctly will encourage Buyers. Hiring an Agent that provides expert service from beginning to end.

A typical time frame to close a home purchase with Conventional Financing is 30 days, from accepted contract to funds transferring accounts. FHA and Va Financing may take a few weeks longer, depending on the Lender. Cash purchases can close much quicker.
