How to lose a house in 10 days ๐ก๐
Day 1: Looking at homes before getting pre-approved ๐
Sellers won't take you seriously and neither will the market.
Day 2: Writing a super low offer "just to see" ๐ฒ
You didn't test the waters. You just handed it to the next buyer.
Day 3: Buying a car before closing ๐
New debt = changed debt-to-income ratio = bye bye loan approval.
Day 4: Sending a 15-page repair request ๐
Sellers have options. Don't give them a reason to pick someone else.
Day 5: Changing jobs before closing ๐ผ
Lenders need stable income. A new job title can tank your file fast.
Day 6: Opening a new line of credit ๐ณ
Even a store card can tank your credit score at the worst moment.
Day 7: Waiting too long to decide โณ
In Houston, good homes don't wait. Another buyer already said yes.
Day 8: Asking for every contingency in a multiple-offer situation ๐ฉ
In a competitive market, a clean offer wins. Demands lose.
Day 9: Falling in love before reviewing the numbers ๐
Emotion closes homes. So does overpaying for one you can't afford.
Day 10: Ignoring your agent's advice ๐
You hired an expert. Trust the process or risk starting over.
And just like that, someone else is signing the papers on your dream home. ๐ฎโ๐จ
The Housing Market doesn't wait ๐ Neither do other buyers.
The difference between closing and losing isn't luck. It's preparation, strategy, and having the right person in your corner from day one ๐ค
DM me "READY" and let's make sure your story ends at the closing table โจ
