Mortgage Pre-Approvals
Know your buying power before you start shopping. A pre-approval gives you confidence and a competitive edge.
A mortgage pre-approval is the essential first step in the home buying process. It tells you exactly how much you can afford, locks in an interest rate for a set period (typically 90-120 days), and shows sellers that you are a serious, qualified buyer. Getting pre-approved costs nothing and puts you in a stronger negotiating position when you find the right property.
Who Is This For?
- Anyone planning to purchase a home within the next 6 months
- First-time buyers who want to understand their budget
- Buyers who want to lock in current interest rates
- Those who want to make stronger, more competitive offers
- Anyone curious about what they can afford before starting to look
Common Goals
- Determine the maximum purchase price you qualify for
- Lock in an interest rate to protect against rate increases
- Understand your monthly payment obligations before buying
- Identify and address any qualification issues early
- Show sellers you are a pre-approved, serious buyer
How It Works
I collect your income, employment, and financial information during a brief consultation.
I review your credit, debts, and overall financial picture to determine your qualification amount.
I issue a pre-approval certificate showing your maximum purchase price and rate hold.
When you find a property, we convert the pre-approval to a live application quickly and efficiently.
