Before you start scrolling Zillow… LET’S TALK. 👀

Most buyers don't realize:

✅ You may NOT need 20% down
✅ Wisconsin has down-payment assistance programs
✅ Having the right Realtor® can help simplify the process

¿Pensando en comprar casa? Antes de empezar a buscar en Zillow… hablemos.

🏠 🎬WAIT! 🛑 Before you fall in love with that house… did you check what the neighborhood is actually selling for?! 😂🏠”

🎤 Because the listing price isn’t always the whole story!
As a buyer, you want to know what similar homes are selling for, what you’re really getting for your money, and whether that price makes sense.

Don’t just fall in love with the kitchen… fall in love with the numbers too! 💰😂

I can help you understand the market and even prepare a FREE CMA/home-value report so you know what homes are really worth.

🏠 CARD 5 OF 6 | DOWN PAYMENT OPTIONS

Waiting to save 20% down? You may not have to!
¿Esperando ahorrar el 20%? ¡Quizás no sea necesario!

💛 FHA: 3.5% down
💛 Conventional: As little as 3% down
💛 VA: 0% down for eligible veterans
💛 USDA: 0% down in eligible areas
💚 Down Payment Assistance: Wisconsin programs may help with down payment costs.

On a $250,000 home, 3.5% = $8,750.

The important question isn't “Can I save 20%?”
It's “What do I actually qualify for?”

I work with buyers at different budgets. Let’s find out!

🏠 CARD 4 OF 6 — CREDIT & QUALIFYING | CRÉDITO Y CALIFICACIÓN

You DON'T need a 750 credit score to start your home-buying journey.
¡NO necesitas un crédito de 750 para comenzar a buscar casa!

I hear it all the time: “My credit isn't good enough.”
Pero muchas personas se sorprenden al descubrir que pueden have more options than they think.

Different loan programs have different requirements:

🏠 FHA — Some buyers may qualify with 580+ and 3.5% down
🏠 Conventional — Some programs may offer as little as 3% down
🏠 VA — Eligible veterans and service members may qualify with 0% down
🏠 USDA — Eligible buyers in qualifying areas may qualify with 0% down

¿Y si tu crédito todavía no está listo? Don't give up! 🙌

I can connect you with lending professionals who can help you understand your options and create a plan — whether you're ready now or 6–12 months from now.

No judgment. No pressure. Sin juzgarte. Sin presión.
Just honest guidance and a plan. Orientación sincera y un plan.

Your credit score is a starting point — not necessarily the end of your homeownership journey.
Tu crédito es un punto de partida — no necesariamente el final de tu camino hacia ser dueño de una casa.

🚨 **I’VE SEEN BUYERS LOSE THEIR DREAM HOME — AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS — BECAUSE OF THESE 5 MISTAKES.**

📌 **SAVE THIS POST** — especially if you're planning to buy a home!

❌ **1. SHOPPING WITHOUT A PRE-APPROVAL**
Found your dream home but don't have financing lined up? Another buyer may beat you to it.
👉 **Get pre-approved BEFORE you start house hunting.**

❌ **2. OPENING NEW CREDIT BEFORE CLOSING**
Thinking about buying a new car or opening a new credit card? **WAIT.**
A change in your debt or credit profile could affect your loan approval.

❌ **3. WAIVING YOUR INSPECTION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE RISK**
A competitive offer doesn't mean you should ignore potential problems.
🏠 Know what you're buying before you commit.

❌ **4. FORGETTING ABOUT CLOSING COSTS**
Your down payment isn't the only money you'll need.
💰 Closing costs and prepaid expenses can add up quickly, so **plan ahead with your lender.**

❌ **5. TRYING TO DO IT ALL ALONE**
Buying a home involves contracts, negotiations, deadlines, inspections, financing, and A LOT of moving parts.

That's where having a Realtor® representing **your interests** can make a difference.

🏠 **Don't learn these lessons the expensive way.**

Have questions about buying a home? **That's what I'm here for.**

Card 2 of 6 WORKING WITH A REALTOR®
Most buyers don't know this: You don't have to navigate the home-buying process alone.

Depending on the transaction and your representation agreement, the seller may contribute toward your agent's compensation. Your agreement will explain exactly how compensation works.

Here's what I do for the buyers I represent:

✅ Help you search and access available homes
✅ Negotiate price and terms on your behalf
✅ Explain contracts and documents before you sign
✅ Help coordinate inspections, lenders, title, and other professionals
✅ Keep you informed about deadlines and important decisions
✅ Be available in ENGLISH AND SPANISH every step of the way

You wouldn't go to court without understanding your rights.
Don't buy a home without understanding your representation.

🇵🇷 ESPAÑOL

La mayoría de los compradores no sabe esto: no tienes que navegar el proceso de comprar una casa tú solo.

Dependiendo de la transacción y de tu acuerdo de representación, el vendedor puede contribuir al pago de la compensación de tu agente. Tu acuerdo explicará exactamente cómo funciona.

Esto es lo que hago por los compradores que represento:

✅ Te ayudo a buscar y encontrar propiedades disponibles
✅ Negocio el precio y las condiciones a tu favor
✅ Te explico los contratos y documentos antes de firmar
✅ Te ayudo a coordinar inspecciones, prestamistas, título y otros profesionales
✅ Te mantengo informado sobre fechas límite y decisiones importantes
✅ Estoy disponible en INGLÉS Y ESPAÑOL durante todo el proceso

No comprarías una casa sin entender lo que estás firmando.
Tampoco deberías comprar sin entender quién te representa.
