I read an article in Saturday's Charlotte Observer that should be a mandatory read for all buyers, at least first-time home buyers.  It was titled Spending Spree Before Closing Could Bag Deal.

Ilyce Glink explained the importance of buyers not going on a spending spree prior to closing.  Yes, it sounds self explanatory enough, but we know that it can be tempting to go out and buy "just a few things" for that new home.  For buyers that are skating on thin ice, those purchases can cost them their house. 

If you are under contract to purchase a home, STOP, and read this article, before you make any considerable purchases.

If you are a Realtor, I suggest sharing this article with your buyers.  It could save a lot of heartache.
