Two home-buying tips: attend your inspection yourself rather than sending an agent, and skip major purchases before closing since lenders do a final credit check. Small changes to your finances can derail the deal.

Two home-buying tips: attend your inspection yourself rather than sending an agent, and skip major purchases before closing since lenders do a final credit check. Small changes to your finances can derail the deal.
Tip number one: Attend the home inspection if you can. You don't technically need to be at the home inspection, as your agent will attend to be your eyes and ears. But if you're able to go, the experience can be useful. Tip number two: Hold off on any big purchases right before you close on your new home. Your lender will likely pull your credit one last time to make sure nothing's changed since you first applied. Visit www.crestacredit.com. Or call us 818-784-2929.
