Don't Make a Move Until You're Pre-Approved!

—Your first step in buying a home is to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan. With a pre-approval you will know what you can afford BEFORE you start house hunting.

—Pre-approval is the process of applying for a mortgage before you have found the house you want to buy. You are able to eliminate much of the stress usually involved in purchasing a new home because you've already taken care of the paperwork - now you can just enjoy looking for your new home.

—After your loan is approved, your lender will supply you with a "Pre-Approval Letter".

—A pre-approved mortgage adds considerable financial clout to your portfolio, giving you purchase power over competitive bids. Any seller receiving an offer that is subject only to the appraisal is likely to accept your offer over another where the buyer has yet to be approved. You are a lower risk to the seller! and since the bulk of your documentation is obtained in advance, your loan can close without delay.

Note: Pre-approval may require that certain condition be met by the borrower prior to final approval and closing.
