THE POWER OF PRE-APPROVAL

An important first step in any home search is finding out exactly how much home you can afford and securing the necessary financing. While you can get a rough estimate through pre-qualification, taking the extra step to obtain pre-approval will give you some added advantages. Pre-approval helps you:

  • Help you establish your budget and connect you with a reputable lender to get pre-approved for a mortgage.

  • Discuss your needs and goals, and plan your property search criteria

  • Agree upon the parameters of our working relationship

When you find a home you love and are ready to make an offer, your mortgage pre-approval lets the seller know that you're serious and fully prepared to buy their home, putting you in a stronger position than other potential buyers.
