Wondering what impacts your pre-approval?
Factors That May Impact Pre-Approval

Ready to dive into the house-hunting pool? 🏡💦 Wait! Before you take the plunge, ensure you’ve got your floaties on. Here’s the lowdown on what lenders really peek at when you’re aiming for that golden pre-approval:

🗝 Paychecks & Beyond

Sure, your monthly salary is a start, but lenders are looking for the whole financial symphony. Think of consistent income, a stellar credit score, and a robust down payment.

🗝 Job Journals

In the homebuying story, a steady employment plotline is a bestseller. A few plot twists (like employment gaps) might need some explaining, but hey, every story has its quirks!

🗝 The Debt Dance

Enter the DTI – your debt-to-income ratio. It’s the fancy footwork showing how nimble you are juggling income and debts. A smooth DTI waltz can make lenders’ hearts flutter.

Feeling a tad overwhelmed? No worries, I’m here with the choreography. Let’s tango through the process together!

Although home appraisals and home inspections are somewhat alike, there are a few key differences people should take note of if they plan to purchase a home. The purpose of appraisal is to determine the fair market value of the property, while an inspection determines the condition of the home and identifies any items in need of repair.

🏡 Feeling the Squeeze? It Might Be Time to Move! 🏠✨

Is your home starting to feel like a cozy sweater that's two sizes too small? It could be a sign that it's time to make a move! Here are some telltale signs:
➡️Outgrowing Your Space: A growing family, a need for a home office, or simply craving more storage space can be the push you need.
➡️Change in Lifestyle: Big life changes like retirement or a new job could mean your current location no longer suits your needs.
➡️Financial Considerations: Whether it's tightening the belt or upgrading your lifestyle, finances play a crucial role in your housing decisions.
➡️Safety and Neighborhood Concerns: Your family's well-being should be a top priority. If your neighborhood doesn't feel right anymore, it might be time for a change.
➡️Home Maintenance Challenges: Endless repairs and renovations can make your current home feel more like a project than a haven.
➡️Ready to explore your options? Let's chat and make your move a breeze! 📦🌟

You probably haven’t heard much about these 4 things… But they can really have an impact on your home-buying experience, so let’s change that!

- Pre-Approval Power: Sellers love to see pre-approvals because it means that if they choose you, the deal is much more likely to close. Do not slack on getting a pre-approval!
- Hidden Gems: This is something every buyer should be looking for because they’re an amazing way to build equity fast! The key here is to buy a low-priced hidden gem that will increase in value as the neighborhood gets more popular.
- Resale Factor: This is also something super important to pay attention to–you want to make sure the property you buy will sell for more in the future.
- Compromising: In negotiations, compromise is the name of the game. Work with your agent to figure out a win-win deal for both sides.
