#RealEstateTrivia time! What do you think the most important thing a homeowner should do before looking at homes? *cue Jeopardy music* If you answered B. Get pre-approved, then you are correct! Getting pre-approved is essential before looking at homes. This is because your pre-approval will determine what kind of budget you can work with and therefore influence the types of homes you will look at. Did you know? You can borrow from your 401(k) to finance your home purchase!... While not necessarily the first option you should turn to, it can be done. According to Investipedia.com, it’s best to borrow from your 401(k) rather than withdrawing from it. Even though you will have to pay yourself back, taking out a loan typically won't incur early withdrawal penalties or necessitate income tax on the amount taken out.

New acronym proposal: OCD, on closing day. Closing Day is often the most exciting day of the home-buying process! There is no doubt this texting acronym would be useful in the real estate world. #DanaHinermanGRI #TheCompassTeam #CloseWithMe
