Do's and Don'ts: Protect Your Pre-Approval

Once you have your home loan pre-approval in-hand, it's important not to jeopardize a smooth closing in any way. Knowing the do's and don'ts of protecting your pre-approval can prevent delays or other issues when you go to close on your new home.

Following tips from Guaranteed Rate can be your key to a great home loan with low rates and fees, and a no-headache closing.

For example, do stay current on existing accounts and use your credit and banking as you normally would. Don't make changes, like quitting or changing your job, or moving monies between accounts, without first consulting your loan professional.

We surveyed the agents and staff at KBT Realty to find out what they would look for in their next home after having taken a good, hard, virus-inspired look at their own four walls.

Find out what they said.
