Yes! You Can Buy a Home with Keith Goeringer
You Got Pre-Approved... Now What? (Don't Make These Mistakes)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Getting pre-approved is a huge milestone, but it isn't the finish line. It's really just the beginning of the home buying process.
One of the biggest misconceptions buyers have is thinking that once they're pre-approved, everything is finished. The truth is, the decisions you make between pre-approval and closing can have a big impact on whether your loan closes smoothly or runs into unnecessary problems.
In this episode, I walk you through exactly what happens after you're pre-approved. We'll talk about what a pre-approval really means, why your lender may ask for more documents, what an Offer Ready Review is, and why we schedule a Pre-Purchase Zoom Meeting before you start making offers.
I'll also cover some of the biggest mistakes I see buyers make, including changing jobs, financing furniture or vehicles, opening new credit accounts, moving money around, and making late payments.
If you're getting ready to buy a home, this episode will help you understand what to expect and how to avoid surprises along the way.
