The same goes for buying a home— anticipate closing costs beyond the price tag to avoid surprises. In today’s episode, we talk about the need to plan beyond the basics, discussing lender fees, impound accounts, and hidden costs that often catch buyers off guard. Tune in to learn how to prepare financially, avoid surprises, and make informed decisions for your next real estate adventure!

We cover:

  • The ins and outs of impound accounts—whether you need one and how they can affect your upfront costs as well as your monthly payments
  • Strategies to help you effectively shop around for lenders
  • The importance of getting an accurate estimate of all associated costs early in the home-buying process to avoid surprises and ensure you’re financially prepared
