Buying in
Los Angeles.
Buying starts long before the first offer. Learn the process, prepare at your own pace, start a search or pick up exactly where you are.
FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM
Buying your first home can start years before you buy it. This free program gives you a place to understand credit, savings, loans, monthly costs, property types and the LA market before making decisions.
BUYING WITH FOUND
For new and current Found buyers. Start your buyer file, tell us what you are looking for, receive custom listings, or go directly to the stage you are already in (like viewing the Escrow Roadmap).
What are you trying to understand first?
Choose the question that sounds most like yours. Click to reveal simple, straightforward answers without the complicated jargon.
What would this home actually cost me?
The mortgage is only one part of the number. Enter a price and down payment to see the estimated principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and cash needed to close.
ESTIMATED COSTS
Down payment + 1.5% closing costs
Schedule your first-home call.
Bring your timeline, savings, credit, lease, questions or no plan at all. In 30 minutes with Keyanna Rees, Found's team lead, we'll identify what matters now, what can wait and what would put you in a stronger position when the time comes.
Use the program for as long as it helps. If you want Found beside you when it is time to buy, we'll be ready.
