Mortgage rates have risen from their pandemic-era lows.

That means getting the best rate possible is more important than ever. Even a slight difference can save you tens of thousands over the life of your loan. 💰

We’ve pulled together our top 8️⃣ strategies to help you secure a rock-solid rate. Here are a few:

📈 Raise your credit score. Paying down debt and limiting credit applications can help.

❌ Don’t job-hop. Mortgage lenders prefer to see two years of steady paychecks.

💰 Increase your down payment. Some lenders offer lower rates with more upfront.

🛒 Shop around for the best rates. It’s always a good idea to get quotes from multiple lenders – and we’re happy to share our recommendations.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, check out our latest blog post for all our tips and more details on how to land the best mortgage.

Were you outbid on your dream home? 💔 You’re not necessarily out of luck. A backup offer can keep you in the game.

What should you know about backup offers before entering into one?

📝 You will automatically go under contract if the first buyer falls through.
📝 You could lose valuable time searching for another home while you wait.
📝 Just like a primary offer, you’ll be locked into your initial bid.

Having a backup offer in place can help you get the house you want, even if you’re second in line. 🙌

Make moving easier with these packing hacks.

Moving is a BIG step. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Keep these tips in mind as you prepare:

📦 Start packing when you start searching for a new home. Tackling a couple of boxes a day will give you a head start. And if you're going to sell your current home, you'll need to declutter anyway.

📦 Pack with unpacking in mind. Bundle items from a single room in each box. Then, clearly label it with its destination in your new home. This will save you time (and footsteps) when you unpack.

📦 Think outside the box when transporting clothes. If you plan on hiring movers, ask if you can leave clothing in your dressers. In many cases, they will use plastic to wrap the dresser so the drawers don’t fall out during transport.

Starting a new chapter in your new home should be an exciting time. We can help you find the resources you need to make your big move your best move.
