jilliannoellerealtor Can you house shop before getting preapproved? The short answer now, most brokerages and local REALTOR® boards require signed disclosures and proof you’re financially ready before a private showing. That means before you tour homes with an agent, you’ll usually need: • A signed buyer representation/disclosure form • A lender preapproval (or proof of funds if paying cash) This isn’t to make things harder — it protects sellers, agents, and serious buyers. And it actually puts you in a much stronger position. Why getting preapproved first matters: • You know your real budget and payment • Sellers take your offer seriously • You can move fast when the right home hits • You compete better in multiple-offer situations • You avoid falling in love with homes you can’t secure • You prevent delays once you’re under contract • You shop with a clear strategy, not guesswork • You look prepared and ready to win Today’s market favors buyers who are ready before they walk through the door. Preapproval isn’t a commitment to buy — it’s just step one to make sure every showing actually counts. Comment “GET APPROVED” to get started. @jilliannoellerealtor

jilliannoellerealtor 🏡 Texas Home-buying Wisdom! 🤔 Don't break the bank just on the down payment! There are more costs to consider when getting your dream home. 💰 Here's what you need to budget for: 💰 Down Payment: This is typically a percentage of the home's purchase price, and depending on the loan program, it's often between 3.5% and 20% down. It's a significant upfront cost. 💰 Mortgage Costs: When securing a mortgage, be prepared for application fees and appraisal costs. These ensure your lender evaluates the property's value and your financial situation. 💰 Home Inspections: Before you buy, invest in thorough inspections. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and foundation assessments are crucial to uncover potential issues and make informed decisions. 💰 Closing Costs: This includes title fees, processing fees, and notary fees. You'll also need to budget for homeowner's insurance, which is essential for protecting your investment. 💰 Property Taxes: These are typically prorated from the date you take ownership. But remember to budget for the next year's taxes to avoid unexpected financial strain. 💰 Movers and Cleaners: When you're moving, there are expenses for professional movers and cleaning services to ensure a smooth transition to your new home. 💰 Emergency Fund: Unforeseen issues can arise in your new home. Having an emergency fund is crucial for covering unexpected repairs and maintenance. Don't let these surprise you! Plan ahead for a smooth journey to your new home. 🏠✨ To explore more, reach out and let’s talk about your Texas real estate goals!
