Tips to prepare for buyers in a hurry!
In a competitive market, having a home in the best possible condition can help attract buyers.
A clean and clutter-free home often gives the impression of a well-kept home. When pressed for time, hitting these high notes can help leave a positive impression with buyers in twenty minutes or less.
- Kitchen: wipe down counters and fixtures with baby wipes; put away toaster, coffee maker, and can opener; empty garbage.

Important information to be aware of about credit scores:
- Don’t be afraid to shop around for the best rate. Multiple inquiries about the same type of loan only count as one request if done within a short amount of time.
- During the process of qualifying for and obtaining a mortgage, play it safe and wait until after your contract has closed and the mortgage is secured to open new credit.
- Checking your own credit score will not harm your score if you order reports directly through the credit-reporting companies.
