Episode 26: Inside the Homebuying Process with Diana Figueroa

What actually happens behind the scenes when you try to buy a home? In this episode of The Landlady Listens, Diana Figueroa brings over two decades of lending experience to break down how the process really works—from what lenders are looking for to how different loan options, credit scores, and financial decisions can impact your approval. She shares practical insight on grants and assistance programs, what first-time buyers often overlook, and why small financial moves during the process can make a big difference in whether a deal goes through or falls apart. This conversation gives a clearer picture of what it takes to get from pre-approval to closing, especially for buyers who want to be fully prepared before making a move. #TheLandladyListens #HomeBuyingProcess #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #RealEstateTips #FinancialLiteracy #MortgageTips
