Your credit score is up and you are ready to go! The next step is finding a great Realtor. Since Realtors work on commission it is best practice to find one and stick with them. How would you like it if you spent four weekends in a row driving someone around looking at 20 houses only to find they bought one with another agent? Not fun! Some agents will ask you to sign a Buyers Agreement which simply states that you are working with them and only them.

The best place to start your Realtor search is with friends and family. See if anyone you know has a Realtor they recommend. If not, check out a few local brokerages and interview some agents to find one that fits with your personality. You could start by reading some bios on Realtor.com for agents in your area. You want to look for someone who is experienced and knowledgeable of the market area you are looking in. However, don’t let a new agent scare you, they need to start somewhere and most are eager and willing to go above and beyond! Read more

Ok so you found a good lender and you had a meeting with him/her to decide how much you can get approved for. However, you found out your credit score is too low to buy a home right now. So what do you do now? There are thousands or articles and advice on improving your credit rating. Here are some tips from me.

1. Pay your cards on time every month. Paying the minimum amount will cost you more in the long run, so if you can pay more than the minimum I strongly suggest that. My advice is to focus on paying off the card with the highest interest rate. Other people may say pay the card with the smallest balance. Either way, you need to pay more than the minimum to gain any ground. Read more

Realtor Loreal Greathouse Shares Tips on Finding the Best Mortgage Lender to fit your Needs!

When it comes to buying a new home the first step is generally finding out how much you can afford to spend. This can seem like a scary process, but if you find a good lender who will take the time to explain things to you, you will see it’s not really scary at all. In my experience, working with big name lenders can lend itself (no pun intended) to a not so personal experience. If I’m about to spend my whole life savings and take on a huge amount of debt, I need to know I can reach my lender and get questions answered quickly. I also need to know they have my best interest at heart and they are not just looking to make a buck. I want a lender who takes the time to sit down with me and all of my baggage and dirty financial secrets and dig through to decide the best option for me. Withholding information from your lender is probably the biggest mistake you can make. Read more
