Here’s an important homebuying tip you don’t want to miss.
Once you've applied for your mortgage, consistency is key. That means no new credit cards, no big purchases (yes, even that sectional couch), and no changing banks. You don’t want to do anything that could put your application at risk.
The best advice I can give? Before making any financial moves, talk to your lender first.

While you may be tempted to skip the home inspection to try to make your offer stand out this spring, just know that’s a gamble that may not pay off.
Even though a home might seem move-in ready, an inspection could uncover underlying problems you didn’t see in your walk-through. And information is power.
It helps you avoid unpleasant surprises. Plus, if any issues are found, your agent can help you negotiate with the seller on the repairs.

One of the biggest benefits of pre-approval is how it helps you understand your buying power. As part of the pre-approval process, a lender will walk through your finances and tell you what you can borrow based on your income, debts, credit score, and more.

Once you have that clarity, you’re no longer guessing. And that gives you the information you need to be able to plan ahead. That way, you’re not falling in love with homes that are outside of your price range.

Unfortunately, a lot of sellers today are setting their asking price too high. That’s leading to an uptick in price cuts. Some of the most common reasons this is happening are that they’re not paying attention to current market conditions or they’re trying to leave room for negotiation. The best way to avoid this mistake? Lean on an agent. Let’s connect to make sure your house is priced to pull people in, not push them away.
