What Sellers Should Know About Pets and Showings
Buyers and their agents need to feel welcome to look at the property at their leisure without danger or distractions. So while you adore your sweet-tempered pit bull rescue, he could turn territorial, barking and growling at potential homebuyers. And it could cost you the opportunity to sell your home.
      Think of buyers as guests and work to make them feel comfortable as they consider your home for purchase. If you have a protective dog or one that isn't well-trained, drop her off at doggie day care when you know your home is going to be shown.

      Give your house model home level curb appeal for that "new" look and feel and buyers will beat a path to your door. That's because there's nothing like



What Does ‘Prior to Fund’ Mean
     In general, ‘prior to fund’ means your loan approval is almost at the goal post. When lenders issue an initial decision, there will still be things needed to complete even though you’ve submitted everything your lender asked for. There are stages in the loan approval process and even though you probably realize it, lenders have given these stages different names.
      When you receive your initial approval, there will still be some items needed. Usually these items are simply nothing more than getting your loan file in compliance. There are items in your file referred to as credit documents, things such as your paycheck stubs and W2s. These need to be within a 30 day window and many times if your loan application goes beyond 30 days, you’ll be asked to update a few things. This is common, especially so when a loan is submitted for a preapproval before a property is even located. You submit your documentation and begin shopping for a home. In all
