Here’s your checklist 🏡🔑

➡️ Get your documents in order. Get a folder and label it “HOUSE”. Keep this file up to date with the following: Your last 2 years W2’s, last 2 years tax returns, last 30 days paystubs, last 2 months bank statements (assets you’ll be using to cover your house purchase expenses) If these items are digital, make that folder on your computer for ease of submission.

➡️ Get Pre-qualified‼️ This involves me pulling a soft credit check and reviewing the documents from your folder to tell you how much house you can afford. If you’re comfortable with the purchase power, we can do a hard credit pull, verify income and get your automated approval to start shopping 🏡 IF you DON’T like your purchase power, we can strategize how to improve those figures.

➡️ Stay consistent with credit and savings💰 NOW is NOT the time to splurge or make major changes. Stay focused on the goal of getting into your home at the best time…RIGHT NOW🔑🫶🏾

Comment “HOME” below to get started ✨✨

2025/2/8 Edited to

When preparing for a home purchase, being organized is key. Begin with gathering important financial documents such as W2s, tax returns, paystubs, and bank statements, and store them in a dedicated folder labeled 'HOUSE'. This organization will simplify your financing process. Once you have your documents, consider getting pre-qualified. This initial step involves a soft credit check and verifies your finances so you can better understand your purchasing power. If the results aren’t what you expect, discuss strategies for improvement. Additionally, as you move forward, it's crucial to keep your credit consistent and maintain your savings. Avoid significant financial changes during this time to ensure your buying position remains strong. For supportive advice and more tips, engage with professionals in the industry, and remember the importance of timely communication— responding quickly can make all the difference in your home buying journey. Lastly, recent trends indicate that 2025 is projected to be a favorable year for home buyers, with increased approvals and acceptance rates. Being proactive now means positioning yourself for success in the upcoming real estate market.
