Buying a Home: These 5 Things Affect Your Credit Score
Our real estate agents at Josey Young & Brady Realty know that buying Atlanta homes for sale starts long before you reach out to us. In fact, many people save up for months or years before they embark on the journey of buying their own home. Even if you only have a few months to get ready, there are steps that will help! Two financial habits are essential to achieving your goals:
- Save up money so that you can easily handle a down payment or closing costs.
- Reduce your debts so you can improve your credit score before getting a loan.
Of these, it's the second one that creates the most confusion! Every time you pay down debt, you are raising your credit score. Your credit score, in turn, is a numerical representation of your good financial habits. It uses a number of factors to help lenders assess the risk in offering you a loan.
There are opportunities to raise your credit score every month. A change of just a few points can give you access to loans on more favorable terms, so knowing how your credit score works is worth the effort. Let's look at some of the best ways to improve your credit before applying for a home loan.
- Pay Bills on Time
Most people have predictable income from work and set, monthly due dates for bills. Still, with so many things to keep track of, it's possible to let something slip. Set up a calendar, use a mobile app with reminders, or set up automatic payments to ensure bills get out on time.

If you're relocating to the metro Atlanta area, you'll be moving to a growing, vibrant city that has a lot to offer.

Atlanta also has a thriving business climate, so if you're looking for a job, you'll see that many companies are hiring.
As you look for Atlanta homes for sale, you can also check out job openings at some of the city's top employers:
- Delta Air Lines
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport has been named the busiest passenger airport for 21 years in a row, so it should come as no surprise that Delta Air Lines is one of Atlanta's top employers. The airline, which is headquartered in Atlanta, has about 34,500 employees in the city, including flight attendants, cargo positions, airport customer service, and information technology.

Buying a Home: What to Look For in a Gated Community
Gated communities often convey a feeling of safety and luxury, but they aren't necessarily the best choice for every homebuyer. Our real estate agents at Josey Young & Brady Realty can help you find Atlanta homes for sale in a variety of gated communities and understand whether living in a gated neighborhood is the right choice for you.
The following are some of the most important things you should consider if you're thinking about moving into a gated community:
Pros
- Increased safety and security
While there's no guarantee against crime, gated communities tend to be safer because access is limited. - More amenities and social opportunities
Gated communities often have pools, green spaces, clubhouses and/or recreation centers that serve as community hubs. Some also have additional perks such as golf courses or tennis courts. They're likely to host community events that help you form bonds with your neighbors and build a strong sense of community.

Bridging the Gap: Buying a Home Before Selling Your Current One
Buying a home and selling a home each come with more than their fair share of challenges. But what if you're trying to do both at the same time? Our real estate agents understand that the struggle is real, and we're here to help.
Before you sell your home or start looking for Atlanta homes for sale, we have a few tips that might take some of the stress out of the equation. One option many homebuyers turn to is a bridge loan, which essentially "bridges" the gap between buying a new home and selling your current residence. There are a lot of benefits as well as some potential drawbacks, but it's an option worth considering.
