No, they’re not the same but both are important parts of buying a home. Your down payment is the portion of the home’s price you pay upfront, which reduces the amount you’ll borrow. Closing costs are separate fees that cover the services needed to finalize your purchase, like appraisals, title insurance, and lender fees.
At the Co-Creation Agency, we walk you through both step-by-step, so you know exactly what to expect before you ever get to the closing table.
The best way to protect what you’ve built is to plan for the what-ifs before they happen. Start by diversifying your investments so your future isn’t tied to just one source. Make sure you have adequate insurance coverage health, life, home, and liability to safeguard against unexpected losses.
And don’t overlook estate planning. Setting up wills, trusts, or beneficiary designations helps ensure your wealth is transferred smoothly and according to your wishes.
You’ve worked hard to build it, and now it’s time to protect it with the same level of care and intention.
