Are you planning to buy a home within the next year? Don't wait until you are ready to begin preparing!
Most of us like to think that we will start planning once we are prepared, however we won't ever be prepared until we plan for it.
With the current market so hot, make sure you are pre-approved with a lender BEFORE you even begin your home search process. That will save you a lot of time and effort by guaranteeing that you are looking within the right budget, and once you find your dream home, you can move forward right away instead of watching someone else swoop in with their pre-approval ready.
Let me know if you would like some information on how to find a lender to get that process started!
