You’re clear to close… so you buy the new car. 🚗

Not so fast.

One of the biggest mistakes I see homebuyers make before closing is taking on new debt. A new car loan, financing furniture, opening a new credit card, or having your credit pulled can change your financial profile at the exact moment your lender is preparing to finalize your mortgage.

And yes, your lender can find out.

I’ve seen a new car purchase delay a closing by two weeks because we suddenly needed a co-signer to make the numbers work.

My advice? Until those keys are officially in your hand:

🏡 Don’t finance the furniture.
🚗 Don’t buy the car.
💳 Don’t open new credit.
🔑 Get the house FIRST.

Working with an experienced mortgage broker means having someone guide you through the entire process, not just getting you pre-approved.

Sometimes the person who tells you “no” is exactly the person you need on your team.

In Part 1, Kason shared the story of our very first transaction together. He had a vision for the deal, but I knew the financing couldn’t be structured the way he originally wanted.

He took the deal somewhere else. And you know what? I understood.

But when the other lender came to the same conclusion, Kason came back to me and we got to work finding a solution that actually made sense.

Within weeks, we closed.

That first deal taught us something that has shaped our working relationship ever since: a strong Realtor and lender partnership isn’t about agreeing on everything. It’s about trusting each other’s expertise, communicating when challenges come up, and staying focused on finding the best path forward for the client.

More than 20 transactions later, we’ve solved a lot of problems together.

And that’s exactly why I’m sharing this story. When you’re buying a home, the team you choose matters. You want professionals who know their jobs, know how to work together, and know how to recognize a problem before it costs you the deal.

I learned this lesson the hard way when I bought my first home.

Not all real estate agents are the same, and choosing the right professionals to guide you through your purchase can make a bigger difference than you realize.

When I bought my first home, I later discovered that I had a broken septic tank. It had never been disclosed to me, the proper due diligence wasn’t done, and my inspector didn’t have the information needed to know a septic inspection should have been completed.

That experience stayed with me.

It’s also part of the reason I care so much about the professionals I work alongside today. Buying a home is a team effort. Your Realtor, mortgage professional, inspector, attorney, and everyone involved should be communicating, asking the right questions, and looking out for the client from beginning to end.

So, to my fellow real estate professionals: if you’re looking for a mortgage partner who understands how important that entire experience is, let’s connect.

Our clients deserve a team that works together to help them get to the closing table with confidence.

Some of the strongest partnerships in this business start with one transaction and grow from there.

Kason and I first connected in 2020, and what started as a professional introduction quickly became an opportunity for both of us to learn how important it is to have the right people at the table when a deal gets complicated.

Because here’s the thing: getting a buyer to the closing table is rarely the work of just one person.

It takes communication. It takes problem solving. And sometimes, it takes a team that is willing to look at a challenge differently instead of simply accepting that something can’t be done.

Five years and more than 20 transactions later, Kason and I have built the kind of working relationship that allows us to advocate for our clients, communicate openly, and focus on the same goal: getting buyers into homes.

But our very first deal together? That one definitely gave us a story to tell. 😂

Swipe through for Part 1, and stay tuned because Part 2 is where things get interesting.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, make sure you’re building the right team from the beginning. DM me or click the link in my bio and let’s talk.

One of the biggest mortgage myths I wish people would stop believing? That all mortgages are the same.

What your bank offers you may look completely different from what another lender can offer, because every buyer has a different financial picture.

Your credit, income, employment, savings, goals, and the property you’re purchasing can all impact which loan option makes the most sense for you.

That’s where working with a mortgage broker can make a difference. Instead of looking at one option from one institution, I can shop different lenders and loan products to help find the solution that fits you.

Your mortgage shouldn’t be one size fits all.
