Mortgage Pre-Approval
If you are looking for a new home, be sure you are pre-approved. With a mortgage pre-approval, I can do a more complete verification prior to sending you shopping for a home, and with that done, you will be more secure in knowing what you can actually spend.
When you work with me to get pre-approved, I will let you know what you can afford based on lender and insurer criteria, and what your payments on a specific mortgage amount will be.
As a Mortgage Broker, I can lock-in an interest rate for you for anywhere from 60 – 120 days while you shop for your perfect home. By locking in an interest rate, you are guaranteed to get a mortgage for at least that rate or better. If interest rates drop, your locked-in rate will drop as well. However, if the interest rates go up, your locked-in interest rate will not, ensuring you get the best rate throughout the mortgage pre-approval process.
In order to get you pre-approved for a mortgage, I will require information that will allow me to determine your buying power. I will explain to you the benefits of shorter or longer mortgage terms, the latest programs available, which mortgage products I believe will most likely meet your needs the best, plus I will review all of the other costs involved with purchasing a home.
Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is something every potential home buyer should do before going shopping for a new home. A pre-approval will give you the confidence of knowing that financing is available, and it can put you in a very positive negotiation position against other home buyers who aren’t pre-approved.
