Carlsbad Relocation A to Z

Carlsbad Sellers - Get Pre-Approved NOW

Aug. 24, 2007

Categorized in: Selling Your House

Tagged with: seller preapproval

If you are selling your home in Carlsbad (or anywhere) and planning to buy another one as part of your relocation, it is important that you get pre-approved.

Why me, you might ask? I am going to have equity from my home. Why do I need to worry about this?

Just like any other buyer, unless you have all the cash needed to purchase in your new location, you should be pre-approved. This is even more critical now, since there have been so many changes in the lending practices, a tightening of the lending programs with stricter requirements, and changes in the interest rates.

Even if you got pre-approved a month ago, or perhaps even a week or so, I would strongly suggest you double-check to make sure you are still qualified with the planned sale of your home. Plus you need to factor in that you might NOT get as much from your home as you hoped for, or perhaps decide to take a lesser amount in order to get on with your life.

I know of a recent seller who had a home in escrow, but found out she could not purchase what she had planned, so she decided to back out of her sale. Depending on the circumstances of YOUR contract, this course of action can have financial implications for you as well if backing out is viewed as a breach of contract by the buyer.

So do your due diligence and check now. Don’t get caught unawares and have your plans foiled.
