How to lose a house in 10 days 🏡😅

Day 1: Looking at homes before getting pre-approved 📋
Sellers won't take you seriously and neither will the market.

Day 2: Writing a super low offer "just to see" 🎲
You didn't test the waters. You just handed it to the next buyer.

Day 3: Buying a car before closing 🚗
New debt = changed debt-to-income ratio = bye bye loan approval.

Day 4: Sending a 15-page repair request 📄
Sellers have options. Don't give them a reason to pick someone else.

Day 5: Changing jobs before closing 💼
Lenders need stable income. A new job title can tank your file fast.

Day 6: Opening a new line of credit 💳
Even a store card can tank your credit score at the worst moment.

Day 7: Waiting too long to decide ⏳
In Pittsburgh, good homes don't wait. Another buyer already said yes.

Day 8: Asking for every contingency in a multiple-offer situation 🚩
In a competitive market, a clean offer wins. Demands lose.

Day 9: Falling in love before reviewing the numbers 💔
Overpaying for one you can't afford leaves you in a home not able to afford life.

Day 10: Ignoring your agent's advice 🔑
You hired an expert. Trust the process or risk starting over.

And just like that, someone else is signing the papers on your dream home. 😮‍💨
Homes doesn't wait 📍 Neither do other buyers.

The difference between closing and losing isn't luck. It's preparation, strategy, and having the right person in your corner from day one 🤍

You know how when you buy a house and the Occupancy Inspector comes out and says you need a fire rated man door between the garage and the basement space…yeah…this…
