It feels good to be back! In this episode the Close to Home podcast returns in full, with Brennen’s top five mistakes for buyers to avoid when purchasing a new home or property. They are: 1. Shopping without knowing your budget. 2. Not being aware of market dynamics. 3. Assuming the home is in good condition. 4. Waiting until you have a 20% down payment. 5. Making big Purchases before closing. Are you intrigued? We hope so! But if you want in depth answers about how to avoid these mistakes you’ll need to listen to the episode. Also, if you want to meet up with the Close to Home crew in the real world we have a couple upcoming events!

The seminar will be taking place at Kaladi Brothers Coffee in their community room from 5pm until 6:30pm. October 19th: We are hosting a down payment assistance class at our office in Capitol Hill. Did you know that the state of Washington offers potentially large amounts of buyer assistance towards your purchase of a home? Well they do! But first you have to take this course and get certified.
