In addition to the bad, this checklist will also sufficiently prepare a future homebuyer for closing day by showcasing helpful strategies in securing your future.
The Purpose:
If you’re wondering why a checklist is in order, in short, being unprepared can be the difference between getting yourself a “House” rather than a “Home”. So, any amount of preparation you can do will only put you ahead other hungry and competitive home buyers.
Starting
The first footstep in the long march of starting your homebuying journey is to get in contact with a lender. Luckily, getting preapproved for a mortgage is a very streamlined and short process in the modern age. Ruoff Mortgage provides this service here, and you can get preapproved in just 15 minutes with our quick and easy process.
If you want to dive deeper into the financial picture of your own situation, a mortgage calculator is another great resource to explore in the precursory stages of this experience. It gives you the first tailored and unbiased view of what your finances can reasonably get you in the market.
Beyond getting preapproved or checking your financial parameters, receiving an agent who has your best interest in mind is going to be key going forward in the process. Oftentimes your loan officer will have recommendations for personalized and tailored agents.
Beyond all of these, one of the more important steps in this checklist is getting your credit score in order. You can check your score for free among the top 3 major bureaus once a year.
