Every agent watching this just felt their blood pressure spike!
You spend weeks (or months) showing houses.
You write the offer.
You survive the multiple-offer situation.
You finally make it to the inspection.
Then your buyer casually says:
“Check out my new car, do you like it?!”
So why this sends agents into a full panic?
Until closing day, your lender wants your financial picture to stay pretty much the same. New debt, new credit cards, financed furniture, job changes, and other major financial moves can impact your loan approval.
So if you’re under contract, do your future self (and your agent) a favor:
📌 Don’t buy the car.
📌 Don’t finance the couch.
📌 Don’t open the store credit card.
📌 Don’t make a job change without talking to your lender first.
We promise we’re not trying to ruin your fun… We just want to make sure you actually make it to the closing table!
Agents: What’s the most heart-stopping thing a buyer has told you before closing?
