Bought a House!
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007About a month ago Jesslyn and I purchased our first house! We are the proud owners of a new 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhome in the Brookhaven area. What I’m most excited about… the garage! I can finally park my car without fear of getting keyed overnight.
The home buying process wasn’t that bad, although there were a few bumps. We went with the builder’s mortgage company, because they offered to pay closing costs. We talked to a few other mortgage brokers just to be safe, so we think we got a good deal. The one big problem we had was our credit score had errors on it, and it was making a big impact on our loan options. We did get it corrected in time though. Make sure you check your credit report before you start looking for a house. If you have any questions feel free to ask me, since I feel I know too much about the housing industry now :P
There are still boxes everywhere, and we need some furniture (I HATE buying furniture), but it already feels like home. Let us know if you arei n the area, we would love for you to stop by. Jesslyn keeps talking about throwing a huge party too.
