First-Time Homebuying Mistake: Looking at houses before getting pre-approved!

Bankrate has recently published a fantastic blog highlighting the most common mistakes first-time homebuyers often make, which can lead to a less ideal buying experience.

One of the biggest mistakes I frequently encounter is when buyers start looking for homes before getting pre-approved through a mortgage lender. This misstep can lead clients to fall in love with homes that are beyond their financial reach, creating unnecessary disappointment and stress. Getting pre-approved is a crucial step that provides a realistic picture of what you can afford, ensuring your home search is both exciting and grounded in reality. By securing pre-approval, you can confidently explore the housing market, knowing exactly where you stand financially. Don't skip this essential step on your journey to homeownership!
