[@ClemsonTiger1908]

I've been watching your videos for over a year and my closing is scheduled in two weeks! As I first-time homebuyer I feel so educated and knowledgeable when I walk into things and hear a semi-new term/phrase - I just think "Yup, I learned that from Shaheedah!" I've also been able to ask informed questions like "Is this a par rate?" I had one sneaky lender try to get over on me by only disclosing the cost for points AFTER I asked directly (I did get three lender quotes like you recommended). You have definitely helped me feel CONFIDENT IN CLOSING that I am not being taken advantage of as a novice homebuyer. I can't say enough how much you have taught me. Thank you so much for all your help!!

[@ShaheedahHill]

Great information. Your closing attorney presented a wealth of information. He clarified everything I read in home buying books. It would seem that every part of the home buying process comes with a bunch of details that the realtor is familiar with, but the buyer is not aware of. Thank you for simplifying the process!

[@Madison091000]

Your videos are always right on time! You’ve literally walked my husband and I through our home buying process lol. We close on June 30th so this was very informative. Also, is it possible for a lender to use the same credit score and report they pulled from a preapproval during closing? I had an old collection sold and placed on my credit again and it affected my score. But I reached out to my loan officer and she said the credit info they have is good for 90 days so I shouldn’t worry about it.

[@ShaheedahHill]

Thanks for watching! You should be good and good job keeping the lender informed. I am pretty sure they are allowed to pull it again, but look to the lender for guidance since he knows how they operate. They can also check employment up until closing, so if you have any employment changes say something, particularly in this environment when job are furloughing employees. Congratulations!!!

[@francinewilliams1703]

If purchasing form a builder is it recommended to have: *Title Insurance *Real Estate Atty? *If there is a change in credit score (higher) before closing can that have an effect on your #’s or are you locked in regardless?

[@ShaheedahHill]

Yes, yes and if there is a negative change in credit score they can deny you loan approval. You financials need to be the same or better as when they initially pre-approved you.

[@francinewilliams1703]

Question @shaheeda, I recently learned at closing I'm going to come across lengthy documents I'll have to sign but cannot see the docs until closing day. If I want to read everything word for word it'll take hours and a real estate agent said the attorney will go over it to make sure everything is good, but I don't trust that. Is there a way to read these docs before closing day so I can not feel rushed in reading??

[@ShaheedahHill]

You can ask for a copy of the documents ahead of time. If they tell you, you have to wait until closing day, push back and let them know they can schedule for a longer closing time or give some items to you prior.

[@jeyashankarmurugesh3560]

Hi do we need a title insurance for a new construction

[@ShaheedahHill]

Yes, I still recommend it. You never know if the land the home was build on will have title issues. There is a big case that an entire subdivision was build on land that was not properly sold by heirs. I always recommend that my clients get it. Compared to the cost of your home, the titile insurance is a small cost for protection. www.inman.com/2015/06/04/is-a-title-insurance-policy-on-a-newly-constructed-home-really-necessary/

[@kitana31]

Does that 3 days for disclosure prior to closing includes weekends?

[@ShaheedahHill]

For Closing Disclosures, a business day is defined as all calendar days except Sundays and the Federal public holidays The Closing Disclosure must be provided to you at least 3 business days PRIOR to loan consummation. And it is days and not hours. 3 full days.

[@IsthisY]

I'm new to your channel and not sure if you touched on this in any of your videos. Can you do a video or include seller rent-backs after closing?

[@ShaheedahHill]

Please clarify do you mean the seller stays in the home for a period after closing?

[@IsthisY]

The Real Realtor - Shaheedah Hill Real Estate Yes, I have heard that particular situations happens from time to time. Maybe the seller's new residence is not ready and they decide to add the rent-back stipulation to the contract. Do you have to accept? Would it be best to enter into a renting lease to cover your need home? I'm just trying to get more information on home buying in general. Side note have you closed any sells with VA loans and can you go over that process?

[@ShaheedahHill]

Start the new job asap,tell them you need to start because you are about to buy a house, tell your agent so they can talk to your lender. If you are already through underwriting and did your verification they may not ask but they can call your job up until the day of closing to verify you are still employed.

[@bridget2369]

Is it best to get an attorney for buying your first home?

[@ShaheedahHill]

It depends on if you need one. Most people close without having their own attorney. States either require you to close with an attorney or a title company but they are representing the lender and not you. If you have a complicated transaction you may want to get you own attorney but typically it is not needed. New York and New Jersey do require an attorney review.

[@courtneywilson8258]

Do you need title insurance if the home is less than 3 years old and only one owner?

[@ShaheedahHill]

Its another level of protection and the lender will be getting a policy that you are paying for so buying a owner's policy at closing will be less expensive. I recommended it, also it covers who ever owned the land prior as well.

Got you so what about new construction?

Have your lender review the closing disclosure with you in detail.

Can the lenders attorney also represent the buyers?

[@ShaheedahHill]

Typically they do not represent both sides. It really depends on the state. But if you want an attorney to represent you at closing you can get one, but the closing attorney usually represents the lender and the usually the buyer pays...but who pays can be negotiated.

You sholuf apply to your state's downpayment assistance programs but be mindful of how much money you make because they wil add you disability and your projected income and you may not qualify because you make too much.
