Getting pre-approved at the start of your home-buying journey shows sellers how serious you are and can strengthen your offer. A pre-approval letter is a powerful thing, so a lender needs to take an in-depth look at financial documents and run a credit check. You can get started on your pre-approval process today by gathering the necessary documents!

5 Documents You Need to Get to Your Lender for Pre-Approval:
1. Proof of income and employment (tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements)
2. Information on qualifying assets being considered (IRA statements, 401(k)s, other investments)
3. List of monthly debt payments with balances (auto, credit card, student, personal)
4. Credit history (credit reports and scores) and rental history, if applicable
5. Personal identification (license, passport, Social Security card)

How to Negotiate as a Buyer:
Know when to ask for more and when to waive contingencies, take time to do your research but respond quickly, and don’t show all your emotions.

How to Negotiate as a Seller:
Set a deadline for all offers, add expiration dates on counter offers, and know when it’s time to accept an offer.

Real Estate Vocab of the Day: Contingency

Contingencies can get a bad reputation for delaying, and even canceling, home sales. They’re really a form of protection for a buyer or seller to prevent an unwanted outcome. For example, a buyer with an existing home might ask for a contingency to sell that home before closing on a new one. This protects them from taking on two mortgages if their current home sale falls through. It’s important to know which contingencies you need and which you can let go of if negotiations become difficult. Work with a real estate agent you trust to advise your best interests in this situation.

The housing market has experienced an increase in home prices over the last few years. For homeowners who have been in their home for over 3 years, their market value is likely to be significantly higher than when they first purchased. Even some who bought their home a year ago may have experienced an increase in value already. Some areas have seen a dramatic increase!

What’s my favorite day of the week?
It isn’t the weekend, it’s Closing Day!

I love watching the buyers and sellers I work with see their real estate dreams come true. Helping to welcome a buyer into their new home or congratulating a seller on closing one door and opening another makes my whole day. The hard work is behind us and now it’s time to enjoy the results. And then it’s time for me to help someone else!
