Buying Pathway FAQs
How do your Buyer Pathways work?
Our Buyer Pathways allow you to choose the level of support that's right for you. Whether you need occasional guidance, support for specific phases, or a fully managed experience, we provide help where and when you need it.
What is the difference between Explorer, Pathfinder, and Navigator?
Explorer provides flexible tools and resources, Pathfinder offers support for selected phases of your home-buying journey, and Navigator delivers a fully managed, done-for-you experience from start to closing.
What happens during the Needs Assessment?
We take time to understand your goals, budget, timeline, and priorities so we can recommend the pathway and services that best fit your needs.
Can I start with one pathway and switch later?
Yes. Many clients begin with one pathway and adjust their level of support as their needs evolve throughout the buying process.
What buying phases can I choose in the Pathfinder Pathway?
You can select support for one or more checkpoints of your buying journey: Pre-Buyer Readiness, Mortgage Readiness, Home Search & Touring Readiness, Offer Strategy & Negotiation, Under Contract / Due Diligence, Closing Day Readiness, and Beyond the Keys.
Why should I choose a pay-for-what-you-need model?
Not every buyer needs the same level of service. Our flexible model allows you to receive professional support where you need it while maintaining control of your budget and experience.
Do I need to be pre-approved before I start looking at homes?
While it's not required to begin exploring, obtaining a pre-approval can help you understand your buying power and strengthen your position when you're ready to make an offer.
Can you help first-time homebuyers?
Absolutely. We guide first-time buyers through every step of the process, helping them understand their options and make informed decisions with confidence.
What makes Sold by Social Realty different from a traditional brokerage?
Our pathway model gives you choices. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you can select the level of support that best fits your goals, timeline, and budget.
How do I get started?
