You are at\nsituations we encounter on a day-to-day basis working with customers in our\ncompany, in addition to being Realtors, we must be advisors to those who place their trust in us.\nyour confidence when buying a real estate property.<\/p>\n\n<p>Throughout the years of\nI have discovered some of those mistakes that can be made in this worthy profession.\nI include the following in this list:<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>1.- Try to fix the\ncredit history just prior to purchase.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The\nbuyers may be disadvantaged if they do not consult a financing expert.\nbefore acting on their own. &#8220;Even if it cancels part of the balance of its\naccounts, which is good in terms of credit scoring, it could be\nnegative if you are left with little liquidity that you may need for qualification\nof the loan&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>2.- Do not consider your plans\nfutures at the time of purchase.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The\nbuyers should consider that a property is not only for today, but also for the future.\nfor the next 5 to 10 years. If they plan to increase the family, they may need a larger house and maybe a\ndifferent location with respect to schools. Also how long\nplan to live there and what type of mortgage is most appropriate for their budget.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>3.- If they fail in their search for\nfinancing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>First\nlooking for the property and then the financing? <strong>NO,<\/strong> in the current market\nbuyers must be well-qualified for the mortgage loan before they can apply for the loan.\nto go out to look for the property, because the most important thing is to know its power of\npurchase. The time to make the decision on the mortgage they need <strong>not\nis 10 days<\/strong> after signing a contract, to make\nbid is required to have proof of available cash and\/or pre-approval from\na loan.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>4.- Assuming that a &#8220;Good Faith\nEstimate&#8221; is what they will pay at closing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The\nThe manner in which mortgage brokers provide the <strong>&#8220;good faith estimate&#8221;<\/strong> does not\nis written in stone. The closing costs for the transaction may be more\nhigh, buyers need to be prepared. The <strong>&#8220;closing costs\n&#8220;<\/strong> generally range from <strong>3%\nto 5%<\/strong> of the mortgage balance. It is good to give a\nand purchase the &#8220;Good Faith Estimate&#8221; provided by two or three agents.\ncompanies, if there are large differences, then, if there are large differences, then\nshould ask the reasons and after a clear and convincing explanation,\ncan determine a good choice.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>5.- Failure to budget the\nproperty expenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Budget\nthe home purchase is not all for new buyers, they could be\nsqueezing their budget if they don&#8217;t calculate the maintenance costs of the\nproperty. The new owners must have the budget for an increase\nin their services, future maintenance and repairs such as roofing and\npainting.<\/p>\n\n<p>All of my clients who have followed these steps have had the opportunity to own, get to the closing table with no surprises and are comfortable with payments within their family budget.
