Planning to buy a home? It’s time to get your credit score in order. ⁣
⁣
Make sure to avoid these common mistakes: ⁣
⁣
❌ Ignoring your credit report. ⁣
Check your credit report to make sure there aren’t any errors or signs of identity theft. ⁣
⁣
❌ Closing accounts. ⁣
Doing so can bring down the average age of your credit, which impacts your score. ⁣
⁣
❌ Paying the minimum due. ⁣
This can drive up your credit utilization rate, which is the amount of available credit you’re using. ⁣
⁣
❌ Making late payments. ⁣
Set up automatic payments to avoid this risk entirely. ⁣
⁣
Wondering if your credit score is high enough to secure a mortgage? Reach out for a referral to a mortgage professional who can help you find out. ⁣

Do you know the difference between a mortgage broker and a loan officer? ⁣
⁣
Both professionals can help you secure a loan, but mortgage brokers are intermediaries between buyers and banks, while loan officers work directly for the bank. Here’s why that matters. ⁣
⁣
Mortgage brokers: ⁣
💰Can help you find the best loan types and rates across multiple institutions. ⁣
💰Offer customized assistance if your situation is more complex, for example, if you’re self-employed. ⁣
💰Smooth the process by communicating with the lender on your behalf. ⁣
⁣
Loan officers: ⁣
💰Can only help you secure a loan from their institution. ⁣
💰Sometimes offer reduced fees and may offer access to down payment assistance programs. ⁣
💰Extend a personal connection to the bank that may be useful for future issues or loans. ⁣
⁣
Whether you choose to work with a mortgage broker or loan officer, it’s important to shop around for the best deal. We can share a list of trusted professionals in our network who offer our clients VIP service. ⁣

4 Trackers for a Market Pulse | Cheyenne, Wyoming Real Estate :: RE/MAX Capitol Properties 4 Trackers for a Market Pulse  If you're interested in keeping track of the real estate market, it can be helpful to have access to economic indicators that provide insight into the pulse of the market. As real estate professionals we are always keeping an awareness of the real estate market.

Only real estate agents can add properties to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) — and there are major benefits to having your home listed. ⁣
⁣
✅ Visibility to buyer’s agents. ⁣
Since the MLS includes more detailed and up-to-date information than online aggregators like Zillow, real estate agents use it to find potential homes for their clients. ⁣
⁣
✅ More qualified potential buyers. ⁣
Because the MLS is used by buyer’s agents, you’re more likely to draw in serious shoppers — not just curious onlookers. ⁣
⁣
✅ Placement on more listing websites. ⁣
MLS listings are automatically syndicated on hundreds of real estate websites, which means greater exposure for your home. ⁣
⁣
If you work with us to sell your home, we’ll place your listing on the MLS, but that’s only the start of our marketing efforts. Reach out for a copy of our multi-step property marketing plan or to schedule a free consultation. ⁣
