Mistake 1 Overspending

BUDGET - Remember to think about closing costs, property, taxes, HOA fees, and maintenance [lawn care] to avoid financial strain in the future.

Mistake 2
Mortgage Pre-Approval - DO NOT SKIP! This allows buyers to know you are highly motivated and you tell you what you can work with.

Mistake 3
Credit Score - as much as I hate to say it your credit score is what play a significant role in your approval and interest rate. You want to make sure any errors are removed before your pre-approval.

Mistake 4
Home Inspection - Don't judge a home by what you can see! Remember there are hidden "gems" within the walls and structure of your home. Make sure you get a Home Inspection, even NEW BUILDS need a home inspection!

Ready to list your home?

Staging can help a potential buyer see themselves in YOUR home!

🏘 Clear out personal items & clutter, you never know if a minimalist is moving in. Clean out junk drawers and use what you have to organize your space as much as possible.

🏘 Optimize space by removing oversized furniture that doesn't allow for a flow around the house.

🏘 Use pillows, rugs, and plants to add charm and character without overspending.

🏘 Maximize natural light with open curtains and lighten up dark areas with lamps.

🏘 Use natural scents in your home to create that inviting space when buyers arrive.

For more information on staging, please DM me to chat more.

REMINDER!

Your next home is your next investment!

Always check the amenities offered, schools you are zoned to, local eateries, and things to do in the area!

While you are buying think of potential buyers as well, if this isn't YOUR forever home, it can potentially be someone else, opportunity always arises.

Think of your lifestyle, the things you like to do on your off days, and how your next potential neighborhood will develop or has.

What are your needs for your next home/investment?

Ready to Make an Offer?

Here are 3 things you should do before making an offer on a House.

1. Speak to a lender!
Knowing how much you can borrow is very important, and it gives you a step above the rest when you have a pre-approval letter in hand.

2. Research your neighborhood!
Make a list of likes/dislikes and what you can live with or without

3. Set a budget for your offer.

If you need help with any of these, reach out today via DM!
