On this past weekend's Q+A Sunday, we’re going past the purchase price with three upfront fees you need to be aware of when buying a home:

1️⃣ Appraisal Awareness: Beyond the excitement of finding your dream home, don't forget the upfront cash needed for a crucial step – the appraisal. It's not just about the purchase price; budget for the appraisal to ensure your investment aligns with market values.

2️⃣ Inspection Investments: A home inspection is your shield against unforeseen issues. Allocate funds upfront for this invaluable service. Uncovering potential problems early on can save you from costly surprises down the road, making it a vital step in your home-buying journey.

3️⃣ Escrow Essentials: Escrow money acts as a financial buffer during the closing process, covering various fees and expenses. Be prepared to contribute to this fund upfront, ensuring a smooth and secure transition from offer acceptance to closing.
