Buying a home soon? 🏡 Here are smart questions to ask your lender before you lock anything in:

✨ What loan programs do I qualify for?
✨ How much do I need for a downpayment?
✨ What will my total monthly payment be (taxes + insurance included)?
✨ What interest rate can I expect — and can it change?
✨ What fees should I be aware of?
✨ How long does the loan process take?

Asking the right questions now can save you time, stress, and money later! 💛

Ever scroll through listings and see that a home is “contingent” or “pending” and wonder what it really means? Here’s a quick breakdown:

🔸 Contingent = The seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions (aka contingencies) still need to be met — like financing, inspection, or home sale.

🔸 Pending = All contingencies have been satisfied — the deal is almost done and it’s just waiting to close!

⚠️ Pro tip: Even contingent homes might still accept backup offers — so don’t count yourself out just yet!

Understanding the key components of your home and staying on top of maintenance will save you in the long run. Here are five crucial things every homeowner should know to protect their investment.

1. How to turn off the water
Turning off the water supply to your house will allow you to quickly stop water flow in a plumbing emergency. This includes burst pipes, leaky faucets, overflowing fixtures or other serious plumbing issues that could cause severe water damage.

2. Where the circuit board is located
Every home is different, but circuit breakers are typically tucked away in low-traffic but still accessible parts of the home like the basement, garage or utility room.

3. The age of your roof and appliances
Knowing the age of your roof and appliances will help you keep track of when they need to be maintained and replaced. If you have the original purchase agreement records, the installation date of your roof and some appliances may be included.

4. How to change your filters
Maintaining your home’s HVAC system is essential to both your comfort and the longevity of these systems.

5. How to change your smoke alarms
Depending on whether your home has battery-operated or hardwired smoke detectors, regularly checking and changing them is essential to maintaining your home. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace any units that are over 10 years old.
