Not getting pre approved from a lender

The best way to start out the home buying process is meeting with your lender to find out what you can afford! Why waste your time or the Realtors time looking at properties that are out of your price range. Buyers should be aware that more and more Realtors are requiring a mortgage pre approval before any homes will be shown. At Worthington Realty, this is a standard, non negotiable practice that has kept several deals together because our clients were in a stronger position with a pre approval letter.

Not getting a survey

An encumbrance to a property can have costly consequences. For example a detached garage without the proper setbacks per the zoning code. The surveyor will draw the poperty lines and perimeter of all buildings and fence posts if necessary. A savvy buyer and Realtor would work together to double check all possibilities of potential headaches post closing.
