After months of searching we just went pending on a house in Bellevue! This is our first time buying a home. Any tips on what to do before close??

We found a loan for 2.6% so don’t think we need to shop around (unless anyone has gotten lower rates recently?)

We did an inspection (they didn’t offer a pre-inspection) and found a few things so are negotiating the seller repairs those.

Let me know if I’m missing anything else!

    Don’t do any major purchases including furniture till after you close.

      Exactly. This mistake is sometimes made especially after loan approval. When they do the final check the day before closing this can cause the purchase to fall through.

    Definitely shop around. Rates are lower if you have assets that you can move. With $1M assets you can get 2.125% rate
