Speaking with a lender early can clarify your budget and reveal questions to address before making an offer. Preapproval is not a guaranteed loan offer. Ask what assumptions it depends on and compare actual loan terms when choosing financing.
Discuss lender and closing charges, prepaid items, inspections, moving costs, and ongoing ownership expenses. Your specific cash needs depend on the property, loan, contract, and credits. Request my Closing Costs and Who Pays What guide.
No. An inspection evaluates the home within its agreed scope and accessible conditions; it cannot guarantee against future problems. Discuss the report and whether specialty evaluations are appropriate with qualified professionals.
Start by coordinating the financing and timeline. We can compare selling first, buying first if financially feasible, and proposed contract conditions. Read the sell-and-buy planning page.
Start with budget, commute, home style, upkeep, and the places you visit regularly. Read the Spokane relocation starting point and visit shortlisted areas. Verify school assignments with the district for each property.
Ask Dasha about your situation. Include preferred callback days and times if you would like a call.
