Do's & Don't's Before Closing

Tips to ensure your mortgage closes smoothly: Credit Cards / New debt: Once you have applied for a mortgage, do not apply for new debt or credit cards, even if you do not plan to use them until after settlement. When you buy a home, you will undoubtedly buy items for that home; please wait until after you own the home! Review your credit report: Be proactive in the process by thoroughly reviewing your credit report with me at the beginning of the process and report any inaccurate or missing information so that we can address it accordingly. What is missing on your report today could show up later and derail your closing. Save everything: Save all of your bank statements, paystubs and credit card statements from time of application until closing.
