🏡 You do NOT need perfect credit to buy a house in Oklahoma.

I say this to somebody almost every week.

Perfect credit was never the requirement. There are programs designed specifically for buyers who are still working on their credit—and most people have never been told they exist.

The part everybody skips? Knowing where you actually stand and what you can do next.

🎙️ We’re fixing that on August 26 with:

Let’s talk about the numbers no one warns you about... 💸🤫

When you start dreaming about buying a home, it’s easy to focus entirely on two numbers: the purchase price and your monthly mortgage payment.

But if you want to avoid a major headache on closing day, you need to budget for the "hidden" costs of homeownership. Here are 4 expenses every smart buyer should prep for:

🏦 1. Closing Costs
These are the fees paid to lenders, title companies, and appraisers to officially finalize your loan. They typically run between 2% to 5% of the total loan amount.

📝 2. Home Inspection Fees
Before you buy, you always want a professional to check the roof, foundation, plumbing, and HVAC. Expect to pay around $300–$600 out of pocket during the contract phase for this peace of mind.

🛡️ 3. Homeowners Insurance & Property Taxes
These are often wrapped into your monthly mortgage payment (called an escrow account), but they can fluctuate year to year. Make sure you know what the current tax rate is in your target neighborhood!

🛠️ 4. The "Day One" Maintenance Fund
From changing the locks and buying a lawnmower to fixing a surprise leaky faucet—something always comes up in the first month. Having a little cash cushion saved up makes the move stress-free.

The Good News? You don't have to figure these numbers out alone. A great local real estate agent and a trusted lender will lay all of this out for you before you ever make an offer.

We are proud to announce the leading force behind our down payment assistance. What a great way to celebrate National Homeownership Month!

Down payment and closing cost assistance from the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency - OHFA is driven in large part by the sale of Single Family Mortgage Revenue Bonds.

The recently closed 2026 B issue included $80 million in bonds. With an average loan size of $194,000, this means approximately 412 families will receive the keys to a home of their own this year.

The impact doesn't stop there. Economists report an estimated economic impact of $63,000 for every completed real estate purchase transaction.

Visit ohfa.org/homebuyers to learn how you can utilize OHFA down payment and closing cost assistance.

Big things are happening in Oklahoma City! 🚧🏟️

The groundbreaking for the new MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium marks another exciting step forward for our city. This project isn't just about sports—it's about investing in our future, creating opportunities for youth athletics, attracting major events, and continuing the growth that makes Oklahoma City such an incredible place to live, work, and raise a family.

As a Realtor, I love seeing investments like this that strengthen our communities, support economic growth, and make Oklahoma City even more attractive for current and future residents.

The future of OKC is bright, and it's exciting to watch it unfold right before our eyes. 💙
