If you’re thinking about selling your house, here’s something you really
need to know. Even though it’s still a seller’s market today, you can’t
pick just any price for your listing.

Even if you didn’t own a home at the time, you probably remember the

good rule of thumb. Always connect with your loan officer before making any
financial decisions once you’ve started the mortgage process.

Everyone’s vision for the future is personal and unique. But for many,

to having your own home and the iconic feeling of achieving the American
Dream.
