Pre-approved isn't approved. Underwriting re-checks your credit and your accounts before your loan funds, so a new car payment, a large transfer, or a job change between offer and closing can undo the whole thing. Talk to your lender before you move any money — I'm a Realtor, not a lender. Two dates worth knowing that I didn't get to: your earnest money is refundable until a specific date written into your contract, not until closing. And your final walkthrough is the last leverage you have — a seller can take fixtures they excluded in writing, but they can't leave you the damage from taking them. The house is supposed to arrive in the same general condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. #utahrealestate #homebuyingtips #firsttimehomebuyer #undercontract #utahhomes Kelsey Earl, journalist turned Realtor, born and raised in Utah, Salt Lake to St. George, 801-419-8917, [email protected], Your lifelong friend in real estate 🌟
