Matthew Jackson+FollowThinking of Buying a Home? Read This First!Mortgage approvals just hit a six-month high, so if you’re house-hunting, you’re not alone!

If you’re house hunting, use this to your advantage: don’t be afraid to negotiate or walk away if the deal isn’t right! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTips00Share
