The home buying process ain't cheap, y'all. Yes, you can buy a home with as little as $1000 down thanks to down payment assistance programs. But there are other things that come up with the process.
Below is why I chose these 5 Things Worth The Money:
1. A home inspection. It's good to know what you are walking into. They tell you about the home, the health and safety items that you may want to get taken care of and the items that could wait.
2. A good realtor. (Ahem, that's me.) I don't get paid unless I get you to the closing table. I work very hard and often late into that night for my clients. I want you to get the house just as much as I want to get paid.
3. Having an emergency cash fund is wise in general. But when buying a home, it's just extra cushion for any little things that may come up.
4. A locksmith to change all your locks in your new home. As a kid, I remember so many people had keys to my house; both nextdoor neighbors, my grandparents, a few of my mom's friends, and probably more. When you buy a house who knows how many keys the former owner gave out! Best to start fresh with new security for you.
5. I've moved several times and when I finally paid for movers, I will never not use movers again. Moving is stressful, let's make the actual move part of it as easy as possible and pay the professionals. (Plus, you do hit an age where no pizza and beer is worth the effort of moving your friends.)
Thinking about starting the home buying process? Let's chat, friend!
