Tips by Topic
The questions Vy hears most, answered in list form. Use them as a starting point and bring the details to your conversation with her.
For Buyers
Mortgage Prep
Getting your finances ready before you shop makes the whole process calmer.
- Check your credit report early and give yourself time to fix any errors
- Gather income, tax, and asset documents before you apply
- Get pre-approved before you start touring homes
- Compare loan options: ask about rates, points, and closing costs
- Budget for closing costs and moving expenses on top of the down payment
For Movers
Moving Checklists
A move has dozens of small details. A checklist keeps them from becoming last-minute chaos.
- Start about 8 weeks out: notify utilities, insurance, and change of address
- Book movers early and get written quotes from more than one company
- Pack room by room and label every box with its destination
- Plan ahead for pets and kids on moving day
- Confirm utilities will be transferred before you arrive
For Sellers
Home Value
Knowing your number before you plan a sale gives every decision a foundation.
- A current estimate is a starting point, not a promise
- Recent sales nearby and market conditions shape the real number
- Your goals and timeline matter as much as the price tag
- Ask Vy what buyers in your neighborhood are seeing right now
