?? Homebuyers—this is a must-know!

Avoid making big purchases before closing on your home. That means no new credit cards, car loans, or large expenses that could impact your savings or credit score.

Even one financial shift can jeopardize your mortgage approval—and the home you love.

Want to stay on track? Comment "BUYER" for expert guidance every step of the way. ??

Skipping the final walkthrough? Think again! ???


The final walkthrough is your last chance to inspect the home before closing. Use this step to confirm that all agreed-upon repairs are complete, fixtures and appliances are in place and working, and the property is in the condition expected. This step helps avoid surprises and ensures peace of mind before you take ownership.
