What Our Happy Clients Say
We take pride in helping homeowners achieve their selling goals. Here’s what some of our past clients have to say about their experience with Bay View Realty:
My husband and I recently worked with Bay View Realty to buy our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team was professional, responsive, and truly understood what we were looking for. They guided us through every step, from finding the perfect property to closing. Their expertise made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Bay View Realty!
We were lucky to have Tanya Hall as our real estate agent. She explained the whole process of selling our townhome in a great detail, she gave us useful tips to how prepare our house for the showings. In our first open house we’ve got three offers. Tanya is an amazing person and it’s been a pleasure to work with her. I would recommend Tanya to all my friends. Tanya, thank you very much to help us in a stressful situation!
If someone had told me 4 years ago, that my family and I will have our own house, I would not have believed them. We were so lucky to have had a family friend recommend Tania Hall as our realtor. We thank her from the bottom our hearts for making our dream of owning a house the US come true! We would definitely trust Tania, and her team, with any future real estate needs!
This was my second time working with Tanya as my agent, and she once again exceeded expectations. Her expertise, attention to detail, and consistent communication made the process smooth and efficient. Tanya demonstrated a deep understanding of the market and provided invaluable guidance, ensuring a successful outcome. I greatly appreciate her dedication and professionalism and would confidently recommend her services to anyone seeking an exceptional agent.
Many thanks! We’re enjoying life in Florida and reflected on our good fortune to have you handle the sell of our Maryland property. Your staff provided timely information and guidance. The property moved quickly and the sale price met our expectations. Closing was just as smooth and we drove to Florida that very day. You have our highest recommendation. All the best!

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about buying a home? You’re in the right place! Check out these frequently asked questions, and if you need more guidance, our team is here to help.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Down payments typically range from 3% to 20% of the home’s price, depending on the loan type. First-time buyers may qualify for low down payment programs, allowing as little as 3% down with conventional loans or 3.5% with FHA loans.
What credit score do I need to buy a home?
Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 620 for conventional loans, while FHA loans accept scores as low as 580. A higher score can help you qualify for better interest rates and loan terms.
What are the hidden costs of buying a home?
In addition to the down payment, expect to pay for closing costs (2%–5% of the home price), home inspections, appraisal fees, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and potential HOA fees.
How long does the home-buying process take?
On average, buying a home takes 30 to 60 days from offer to closing. However, this timeline can vary based on market conditions, loan approval, and negotiations.
How long does it typically take to sell a home?
The time it takes can vary based on factors like market conditions, pricing, and the home's condition.
Additionally, the season plays a role — homes tend to sell faster in spring and summer, while winter months can see slower activity.
On average, homes in Baltimore have been selling faster, with the median days on the market increasing by only 11 days, from 35 to 46 days.
Should I make repairs to my home before selling it?
It depends on your goals. Renovating can increase your home’s value and attract more buyers, but it requires time and upfront costs. If your home only needs minor updates, small improvements like fresh paint or landscaping can make a big impact.
Selling "AS-IS" is a good option if you want a faster sale or don’t want to invest in repairs. However, you may need to price it competitively to attract buyers.
How much should I list my house for?
Your listing price should be based on recent sales of similar homes, current market conditions, and your home’s condition and features.
Overpricing can lead to a longer time on the market, while pricing competitively can attract more buyers and offers.
A real estate agent can provide a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help determine the best price for a successful sale.
Do I need to be present for showings and open houses?
No, it's best to leave showings and open houses to your real estate agent. Buyers feel more comfortable exploring the home and envisioning themselves living there without the seller present.
Your agent will handle the showing, answer questions, and highlight key features while ensuring a smooth experience. If needed, they can provide feedback from potential buyers after the showing.
