Sunday Home Tip: Make Room for the Little Things

Your home doesn't have to look like a magazine to be a great place to live.

Sunday breakfast in your favorite spot, movie night on the couch, or dinner with friends around the table. Sometimes, the best part of homeownership is simply enjoying the place you call home.

What's one thing about your home you wouldn't trade for anything?

A little home maintenance now can save you a headache later.

Add these five items to your seasonal checklist:

- Gutters:Clear debris and check that water drains away from your foundation.
- HVAC filters: Check whether it’s time for a replacement.
- Windows and doors: Look for drafts or worn weatherstripping.
- Roof: Check from the ground for visible damage after a major storm.
- Caulking: Look for gaps around windows and exterior trim.

Small checks can help you catch little issues before they grow.

Why is my mortgage payment higher than principal and interest?

It’s a common question, and escrow is often the answer.

Many mortgage payments include monthly amounts for property taxes and homeowners insurance. Those funds are held in an escrow account, then used to pay the bills when they come due.

If taxes or insurance costs change, that monthly amount can change, too.

It’s one of those details worth understanding before your first mortgage payment arrives.

Sunday Home Tip: Know What Your Homeowners Insurance Covers

Not all policies cover the same things, so take a few minutes to review yours.

Check your deductible, understand what's covered, and see if there are any exclusions or coverage limits worth knowing about. If anything is unclear, your insurance agent can help explain the details.

It's worth knowing what your policy includes before you ever need to use it.

First-time buyers often walk into lender conversations without knowing what to ask. That is completely normal, but going in with a few good questions can make a real difference in how well you understand what you are signing up for.

Here are some worth having ready:

Get the financing conversation started before the house tours.

Encourage buyers to ask about loan options, total monthly payments, required documentation and what to avoid before closing.

These early conversations help set expectations and give the lending and real estate teams a chance to address questions before they become last-minute complications.

Applying for a mortgage? Having your paperwork ready can make things smoother. Here’s a quick checklist to help you prepare:

• Recent pay stubs
• W-2s or 1099s
• Bank statements
• Government-issued ID
• Two years of tax returns

If you’re self-employed, you may need extra documentation. Getting these together early can help avoid delays.

One of the best ways to keep your home purchase on track is to gather your paperwork early. Most lenders will ask for recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, bank statements, and a photo ID. If you’re self-employed, you’ll likely need extra income records. Having these ready can help prevent last-minute surprises and keep your mortgage process moving smoothly.

Ever wonder what happens to your money and paperwork between signing a contract and getting the keys? That’s where escrow comes in. Escrow is a neutral third party that holds funds and important documents until both the buyer and seller meet all the agreed conditions. This helps protect everyone involved and keeps the transaction on track.
