I work at two careers. Real estate is my passion. However, I also work at a factory direct furniture store in Central Park, Fredericksburg, VA. The other day I had a customers at the furniture store wanting to make a major purchase. They had not yet been to settlement. My customers asked me if the purchase could impact their closing. In a majority of cases, it will impact, however, there are situations where it will not.
It would have been a violation of ethics for me to advise my customers in a real estate matter since they were already working with a real estate agent. Yes, I did want the sale, too. What I highly suggested to them was to call their agent or lender to find out. As far as the furniture purchase goes, I'll see them later this week - after they have a new home. I hope they will ask for me. Would you?
When buying a home - ask your real estate agent about major purchases as it could cost you your home.
