Don’t let Austin home prices give you sticker chakra.

Mark’s ready with some guided credi-tation.

The noise around home buying can make anyone’s mind-body connection, well… disconnected. Don’t let the market drive you crazy. Mark’s “Yoga for Homebuyers” gives you the mortgage mindfulness you need to tune out the buzz and get focused on a well-balanced plan to keep you on the path to real estate enlightenment.

(No downward facing dog required).

Step 1: Visualization

The first step to homebuying is seeing a clear plan of action. What are your goals, for today, for tomorrow, and for the next 20 years? Clear your head of the internet noise and mortgage spam. It begins and ends with you and your family in perfect harmony (or pretty close to it).

Step 2: Awareness

Before you start looking for a home, get pre-approved. And strengthen your core by being aware of your complete financial picture so you can work out any kinks (like bad credit cramps).

Knowing what you can realistically afford will help you stay grounded… mind, body, and wallet.

Step 3: Repeat Mark’s mortgage mantra

“Refi the rate, not the price.” When you find the right home, remember that even if the rate may not be what you want, you can always refinance when the rate feels right. And if Mark is your mortgage broker, he will refinance your home with no lender fees. That should give you some inner peace.

Step 4: Namaste-home… and enjoy

With a mortgage lender who knows how to guide you through the process (and a lot of deep breathing), finding the right home with the right place to store your yoga mat can bring you a lifetime of happiness.
