Things to Avoid When Buying a Home

When you're buying a home, it's important to avoid doing anything that could jeopardize the sale. There are many things that could go wrong if you're not careful. In this episode of Explore My Town, Brookings, Oregon, your host and top producer real estate agent in Oregon, Marie Curtis of RE/MAX Coast & Country, inform you of things that you should avoid when buying a home. Following these tips can help ensure a smooth escrow process and prevent any last-minute surprises.
 
One of the most important things to avoid is changing jobs. Do not change jobs while buying a house! If you're in the process of buying a home, it's not the time to switch careers. A new job means a new income, which could impact your ability to qualify for a loan. It's best to stay at your current job until after you close on your home.
 
Another important thing to avoid is buying new furniture. Do not buy furniture before closing! It may be tempting to buy new furniture for your new home, but it's best to wait until after you close. Furniture can be a big expense and it can impact your debt-to-income ratio. If you're not careful, it could even damage your credit score. It's best to wait until you're settled into your new home before making any big purchases.
 
These are just a few of the things to avoid when buying a home. For more information about the do’s and don’ts of escrow when buying a house, including questions like what an escrow account is, call Marie Curtis, a leading real estate agent in Brookings, Oregon. She can inform you of anything else you should watch out for. With careful planning and preparation, you can ensure a smooth and successful home-buying experience.
