Once you're under contract, avoid these common mistakes:

❌ Buy a new car
❌ Open new credit cards
❌ Finance furniture
❌ Make large unexplained bank deposits
❌ Change jobs

Even small financial changes can impact your loan approval.

When in doubt, talk to your lender before making any major financial decisions.

Here's something many buyers don't realize:

The lowest interest rate isn't always the best deal.

JR Obrecht points out that a lower rate can sometimes come with higher upfront costs. That's why buyers should look at the entire mortgage picture—not just the rate advertised.

Your monthly payment, closing costs, loan terms and overall financial situation all matter.

And that's also why comparing mortgages isn't as simple as choosing whichever lender has the lowest rate.

🏡 Buying a home is a big financial decision. Make sure you're comparing the whole picture.

👉 We asked JR about rates, refinancing, down payments and the questions buyers should be asking their lender. Read the full conversation here: https://cindyquinnwoodrealestateagent.com/mortgage-questions-every-home-buyer-is-asking-right-now-a-conversation-with-jr-obrecht-of-homestead-financial/

If your home has been sitting on the market longer than expected, one (or more) of these could be the reason:

• Pricing above market value
• Poor listing photos
• Limited marketing
• Needed repairs
• Too much personalization

A successful sale isn't just about putting a sign in the yard—it's about having the right strategy from day one.
