Oh boy, this question makes me nervous every time because I've seen deals fall apart over jobchanges. If you're in the middle of buying a home in Fort Mill, Waxhaw, or anywhere in the Charlotte metro area, changing jobs can be risky business, but it's not always a deal-killer. Lenders want to see stable employment history, and switching jobs right before closing raises red flags. They're going to verify your employment again right before closing, so if you've switched jobs without telling anyone, surprise! Your loan could get denied at the last minute

I've had clients lose their dream homes in Ballantyne because they thought a job change wouldn't matter. That said, sometimes job changes can actually help your situation. If you're moving to a higher-paying position in the same field, or getting promoted within your current company, lenders might be okay with it. The key is communication – tell your lender immediately if you're considering a job change. They can guide you on whether it's wise or if you should wait until after closing. If you absolutely must change jobs during the process (maybe you got laid off), don't paniccompletely

If you find new employment quickly in the same field at similar or better pay, you might still be able to close. But you'll need to provide new employment verification, pay stubs, and possibly delay closing. My advice? If you're looking at homes in Indian Land, Weddington, or anywhere else, try to hold off on any major career moves until you're holding keys to your new home in Marvin or Pineville.
