FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Straight answers to the questions that come up most.

What does this cost me?
Standard real estate closing costs apply. Your Fox Homes agent will walk you through exactly what to expect for your transaction.
How does the 0.5% rebate actually reach me?
It's credited toward your closing costs at settlement — real dollars off what you bring to the table. On a $500,000 home that's $2,500; on $700K it's $3,500. It applies to verified Gauntlet AI graduates using Fox Homes as buyer's agent, and is subject to lender approval (most allow it; we confirm upfront).
Can I get pre-approved before my federal job starts?
Yes. Your CrossCountry lender regularly pre-approves government hires on the strength of an offer letter — before your first paycheck lands. It’s exactly the situation they specialize in, so you can start your search with a real budget in hand.
Do I need to come to DC to buy, or can I do it remotely?
Absolutely. We've completed hundreds of purchases for relocating buyers — fully remote, in person, or a mix of both. Your agent walks every property live on video, the inspection is reported within 24 hours, and most settlements are handled remotely. We're flexible and can make any situation work.
How do I get matched with an agent?
Fill out the short client onboarding form. The Fox Homes Team reviews it and matches you with the right agent from our 30+ team — by area, timeline, and the kind of purchase you're making. You're never assigned at random.
What if I want to rent first and buy later?
Totally fine. We help with rentals too — land somewhere first, settle in, and buy when the timing's right. The rebate and the team are here whenever you're ready.
Where are the IRS and Treasury offices?
IRS National HQ is in New Carrollton, MD — its own Metro stop. US Treasury is at 1500 Pennsylvania Ave NW in DC, served by multiple Metro lines. We match your neighborhood to whichever office you're headed to.
