• No Tax on Out-of-State Retirement Income.
• No Excise Taxes.
• No Tax on Mineral Ownership.
• No Intangible Taxes - Wyoming doesn’t make you pay taxes on financial assets like stocks and bonds.

We will always work to find you the best value within your time frame while providing as much convenience for you as possible. Working with an Engel & Völkers Advisor means you will have access to listings worldwide throughout our network. We also maintain relationships with trusted partners to provide the essential services you'll require throughout the purchasing process, including financing, insurance, inspections and legal representation.
Before the search begins
Understanding why you're buying is the first - and perhaps most important - step in the journey. Whether you're making a lifestyle change, relocating, investing, or taking advantage of favorable market conditions, your motivation will shape the direction of your search.
Your Engel & Völkers Advisor is here to help you explore those reasons more deeply and ensure this is the right time and the right decision for you. By clarifying your goals from the start, we can streamline the process and focus on what truly matters to you.
Viewing properties
As you begin your search for a new home, keeping track of what makes one different from the other will help you make better decisions in the end. We'll take notes of the homes you visit and stay organized so you can easily compare information.
Also consider
• The style of the home that you will see: single family homes; multi family, condos, co-ops.
• The condition of the home you would accept: new home, older home, renovation required.
• The resale value.
• The number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
• The neighborhood.
Making the offer
Based on your research notes, finances and the properties you've viewed, you've finally found the home that meets your criteria. You're ready to make an offer. An offer includes the price you would like to pay for the home in question. How much you will offer could depend on finances, comparative prices of other homes in the market, as well as private property and appliances to include in the sale.
The offer also includes a good faith deposit, which is an amount of money that demonstrates your commitment to the property. A good faith deposit is not the same as a down payment, which is considerably more. The amount of the deposit or earnest money might be between 1 and 5 percent of the purchase price and is usually held by Title & Escrow.
In both Wyoming and Idaho, a real estate offer typically includes several key components: the proposed purchase price, financing details (such as loan type and interest rate), desired closing date, and any contingencies - like inspection, appraisal, or financing. The offer will also outline the property address, specify any included items (such as appliances or fixtures), and detail the amount and handling of earnest money. Your Engel & Völkers Advisor will walk you through each of these elements to ensure your offer is strong, clear, and aligned with your goals - giving you the best chance at securing the property.
Contingencies help offer protection on the way toward finalizing a deal. While a seller could accept a competing offer without contingencies and a speedier process, you should consider certain risks. For example, you can ensure that a contract could be finalized contingent upon receiving written loan approval, and that you can cover the cost of the purchase. You can also make the deal contingent on successful inspection results and the completion of any major repairs or deductions equal to the value of those repairs. If you own a home and need to sell it prior to purchasing a new home, the purchase can be contingent on the successful sale of your previous home. Deadlines should be assigned to each contingency.
The closing
This is the process in which the transaction is completed and the title of the property is passed from seller to new owner. Before the closing, the buyer conducts a final walk-through of the home to make sure that the property is as it was when you viewed it and that all repairs that may have been stipulated in the offer have been completed to satisfaction. During the closing, paperwork that has been prepared by all parties involved, including the agents, the bank providing the mortgage, attorneys and title companies, are signed.

Common mortgage questions
Thinking of buying a new home?
We've got the answers to the questions everyone asks about mortgages.
Am I better off renting or buying a home?
The decision to rent or buy a home differs for everyone, as there can be benefits to both, depending on how long you plan to live in your home. We can help you weigh the pros and cons to see which option is best for you. If you decide buying a home is in your future, we have amazing lender connections throughout the area to refer you to.
What are the advantages of a home purchase?
The American Dream, right? Buying a home gives you a sense of investing in a community you love and pride for achieving home ownership. Additionally, financial benefits come into play such as tax savings, building home equity and no longer paying rent to someone else. With many unique downpayment options available, a home purchase may be easier than you think!
What’s my first step?
The Mortgage Pre-Approval. Unless you are paying cash, you will need to get a mortgage. In order to know how much home you can afford, you will need to get pre-approved for a loan. Ask for recommendations, and meet with a lender to get the process started.
How much can I afford to borrow?
Everyone’s financial situation differs and it’s important to recognize what you can comfortably afford to borrow. Your loan officer will help you determine this while [in general] factoring in:
• Your debt-to-income ratio (this is your total monthly payments as a percentage of your gross monthly income).
• The amount of cash you have available for a down payment and closing costs.
• Your credit history.
• The value of the property you want to purchase.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Your down payment requirements will depend on your lender, the type of home loan you choose, and the type of property you are buying. Your required down payment can range anywhere from 0-20% of the home’s purchase price. Lenders offer a variety of different loan programs and each program has different rules regarding the down payment required.
How long does it take to buy a home?
With updated lending guidelines aimed at simplifying and consolidating loan disclosures, the mortgage process has become more structured - impacting the overall timeline. On average, you can expect the purchase process to take 30 to 45 days from the time your offer is accepted to closing.
However, every situation is unique. Factors like loan type, appraisal timing, inspection results, and lender efficiency can affect the timeline. Your Engel & Völkers Advisor will work closely with your lender and all parties involved to help keep things on track and minimize surprises.
What other fees can I expect, besides down payment?
Mainly loan origination and the cost to close. The down payment is usually the largest cost associated with buying a house. Lending fees are the second largest costs to homebuyers. Most lenders will charge between 2% to 4% of the loan amount for loan origination fees, depending on the loan type. Conventional loans usually have lower loan origination fees, but require more money down. Your loan officer will be able to help you determine how much you can expect to pay towards loan origination and closing costs.
What are the closing costs?
Closing costs include items such as appraisal fees, title insurance fees, attorney fees, pre-paid interest, and documentation fees. These items are different for each customer due to differences in the type of mortgage and the property location, etc. You will receive an estimate of your closing costs in advance of your closing date.

Let the showings begin!
Be prepared for potential buyers.
It is important to be prepared for potential buyers to be in your home on Listing Day, as showings can begin at any time. Have your home show-ready when you leave that morning - dishes put away, beds made, laundry in hampers, etc. If you have pets, it is typically best to remove them for showings. Coordinate with your Advisor if you have any questions or restrictions for showings.
Most buyers first explore a property's online listing and consult with a broker before attending an open house. Make their experience easier and more informed by preparing a clear, comprehensive property datasheet that includes all the important details - price, square footage, features, utilities, and updates.
Open houses
Maximizing exposure is key to selling your home.
In the age of online marketing, open house viewings seem almost antiquated, but before you completely abandon the concept, you should know that real estate consultants have good reason to stick to these group events. This classic approach is perfect for attracting new customers and - to the seller's delight - for starting a bidding competition.
Open houses can be a good opportunity for potential buyers to see a property without feeling pressured. They can also be a good option for shy buyers who may not feel comfortable with individual viewings.
A buyer often forms an opinion about a property before even stepping through the front door. That’s why curb appeal mattersit's the first impression and sets the tone for the entire showing.
Before hosting an open house, take time to elevate the home’s exterior. Trim landscaping, refresh flower beds, and consider a new coat of paint on the front door or trim. Make sure the house number is clean, visible, and polished. Add tasteful, well-maintained flower pots along the entry path to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. These details signal care and pride of ownership - and help prospective buyers begin to envision the home as their own from the moment they arrive.
Your Engel & Völkers Advisor will ensure high-quality printed materials are available at showings to reinforce the home’s value and leave a lasting impression.

The moving experience
Moving
Moving is a process with many steps. Here is a checklist you can use to help prepare for this transition.
Moving is change. Whether you do it yourself or have it done for you, it is the removal, relocation and replacement of all your treasured possessions to a completely new surrounding. It is an opportunity to shed belongings and to acquire new ones. Above all, moving is a process with many steps. Here is a checklist you can use to help prepare for this transition.
Three - four weeks prior to move
• Decide how you’re going to move your furniture and personal belongings. Whether you’re hiring a moving company or renting a truck, do the research. Get recommendations from your Real Estate Advisor, as well as estimates. Be sure to ask about availability and additional costs of materials and tools such as boxes, tape, covers, packing material, and a hand truck or appliance dolly if you're moving yourself.
• Take stock of your possessions and decide what will be moved and what could be removed. This is an opportunity to sell unwanted items online or through a yard sale.
Two weeks before moving
• Notify and get refunds from your present utilities: gas, electric, water, sewer, trash, cable and internet. Arrange for services at your new address.
• Transfer your address with the US Postal Service.
• Begin using up what you don’t need to move like cleaning supplies, pantry food, etc.
• Recruit people to help and arrange for someone to take care of your pets and children during the move.
• Confirm moving company or rental-truck arrangements.
• Transfer your bank accounts.
• Draw up a floor plan of where your furniture should go at your new place.
• Purchase moving insurance. Your mover’s liability for lost or damaged goods will not equal their replacement cost.
On moving day
• Plan on spending the entire day with the movers. Don’t leave until they have finished.
• Record all utility meter readings (gas, electric, water, propane, etc.).
• Take a final walk through of the house, including storage areas and the attic to make sure everything is empty.
• Lock all windows and doors.
• Carry enough cash to cover the cost of moving services and expenses until you make banking connections in your new city/address/location.
• Carry jewelry and documents yourself, or use registered mail.
• Double check closets, drawers, and shelves to be sure they are empty.
• Leave all old keys and garage openers needed by the owner with your Real Estate Advisor.
Pro-tip. Pack an essentials box!
Moving is a process and settling into your new place doesn’t happen in one day. Be sure you’re prepared to survive the first few days with some of these essential items.
• Important Records and Documents
• All-Purpose Cleaner
• Dish Soap and Hand Towel
• Garbage Bags
• Scissors or Pocket Knife
• Portable Tool Kit
• Flashlight
• Snacks and Instant Coffee
• Mug / Cup / Plate / Cutlery
• Change of Clothes
• Shower Curtain
• Towels
• Pet Food and Dish
• Toilet Paper
