Tanya rode by a house and fell in love with it, she called the agent listed on the for sale sign and asked to go see it. Tanya had not been preapproved, but just knew she wanted the home. The agent set up a showing, the seller had to leave the home for an hour, with their 3 young kids all under 3 and find somewhere to go for at least an hour.
Tanya viewed the home, Tanya wanted the home even more, could see all her furniture in it, asked the agent how much the house was, the agent said $350,000 asking price. Tanya went to a lender to get preapproved to find out she was only approved for $200,000 and could not get the home she fell in love with.
Meanwhile, Dawn who had her own agent, got preapproved before looking at homes and saw the home after Susie and also fell in love and because she was already preapproved for $400,000 knew that she could afford it, put in an offer and her offer was accepted and she closed on the home of her dreams.
Be like Dawn, don’t be like Tanya😉
