1. PREPARE FINANCES
Save
• However you decide to finance
your home, it’s important to start
with healthy savings
• Savings are needed for a
down payment as well to cover
unforeseen problems, or repairs
• Savings translates into more
flexibility from lenders on factors
like earnings and credit
Improve your credit score
• The better your credit score the
lower your payments will be
• Months prior to buying, boost
your score by settling debts;
refrain from new credit, closing
accounts and major purchases
Prepare your financials
• Make sure your taxes are filed
• Ensure a paper trail exists for all
major transactions for the past
year

road; will you rent your next place, or will you relocate out of the area?
• Strategize with your agent about when to put your home on the market
3. PREPARETO MARKET HOME
With your agent, get market-ready by addressing factors important to buyers
• Price–It is the bottom line; getting the price right from the start is important
• Condition–To fetch the highest price, improve your home’s condition with a little
clean-up and home improvement
• Presentation–Work with your agent to formulate a plan for the strategic presentation
of your home for sale that includes staging, great visuals and focuses on where
buyers search most—online!
• Location–Location is hugely important, but your home is where it is—Be sure to
perfect the other 3 factors important to buyers if your location is an issue

get a lender’s pre-approval which

you a strong foundation for your
home search and will keep you
realistic about your options
