• Do your homework and find out as much as you can about home buying trends in the area you wish to relocate.
  • Don’t make big purchases, such as a car, new furniture or appliances, until after closing.
  • Keep your day job! Lenders are looking for consistency with your employment history.
  • Get pre-approved for your purchase. Decide what you are personally comfortable with.
  • Let your realtor do the heavy-lifting. They can help you identify neighborhoods, choose personalized listings, schedule viewings and assist through closing.
