Lessons from (trying) to buy our first home

by Wife 24. January 2008 10:48
As a buyer, use your own title company.  Whether it be through the bank or however, anything has to be better than using the Seller's disorganized company.  There are way too many things to go wrong if you don’t have control of the situation.  Also make sure the company is located within the state in which you’re purchasing your home.  And make sure they actually read the Purchase Agreement contract. Use an experienced mortgage broker who is familiar with the proceedings of the particular county.   Don’t expect ANYTHING to happen on time.  I think that is the biggest one.   Relating to timing, don’t give notice on wherever you’re currently living until after the closing, if at all possible.  This is just in case something gets delayed. That is it for now.  I just can’t believe how many errors can happen in a seemingly simple transaction!!
