Know your credit score and work to build strong credit. When you're ready, lean on your agent to connect you. The rise in remote work is changing what many Americans want in their homes.

The biggest challenge in real estate today is the lack of available homes for sale.

At the loan closing, you will be required to pay your down payment and other various closing costs and fees. Most of the closing fees are paid by the buyer, but some of the fees are prorated, by date, to the seller and the buyer. In order to be prepared to pay the closing costs, you may request a Good Faith Estimate from the lender.
Your credit payment history is recorded in a file or report. These files or reports are maintained and sold by "consumer reporting agencies" (CRAs). One type of CRA is commonly known as a credit bureau. You have a credit record on file at a credit bureau if you have ever applied for a credit or charge account, a personal loan, insurance, or a job.
A home appraisal is generally required by the lender in order to establish that the value of the home will be sufficient collateral for the amount of the loan. The appraisal fee is generally paid by the buyer, sometimes required at the time of the loan application but typically paid at the loan closing.

As efficient as they come. The house purchasing process is tedious, as everyone knows. However, Christine and her team make everything simple. While there are inevitable frustrations along the way in negotiations, and other areas of the home purchasing process.. Christine and her team are there for you every step of the way. They made my process not only easy, but fast. I originally started with another lender, which I ultimately regretted in the end, after I realized how much time I wasted, when I could've just gone to Christine and her team to begin with.
Highly recommend using this lender if

Christine and her team work as a cohesive unit to keep things moving as smoothly as possible. When things did not go as planned with the sale of our previous home in Florida, Christine and her team worked tirelessly through the weekend to ensure that our purchase in Texas stayed on track. I cannot thank her enough! She is extremely familiar with VA loans and all the extra that comes along with using them. I would use Christine again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to anyone looking to secure a loan.

Christine and her team are beyond five stars to say the least. I used the home for heroes program, and with Team Christine’s knowledge and experience it was a very painless process. The week of closing, Christine personally went above and beyond to pick up the ball my realtor dropped, completed tasks that were the realtor’s responsibilities, and we closed on time. Without Christine’s due diligence, I’d still be “homeless”.
