You held my hand through the entire process and made sure I knew every detail. It was easier to get a loan than to get Comcast to install the cable!

PRE-QUALIFICATION AND PRE-APPROVAL?
Pre-Qualification is the starting point in your search for buying a home and mortgage financing. Our Mortgage Discovery Program has been proven to help you decide if getting pre-approved is right for you. A pre-qualification takes a quick snapshot of your credit, income, savings, existing debt, and the length of your employment. We then analyze these factors to determine a price range on homes you can afford and your eligibility for a new mortgage to help you purchase a home.
Pre-Approval is written documentation that shows we guarantee the ability to finance your new home. It means an underwriter has reviewed your loan application, along with all supporting documentation including pay-stubs, tax returns, W-2s, bank statements, and additional asset statements. Based on your credit, income, and savings we will provide you the maximum and recommended dollar amount you are eligible to borrow to purchase your new home.
Once preapproved, you can begin shopping around for your new home!

Why Get Pre-Approved? The great part about being pre-approved is it allows you to essentially shop as a cash buyer! This can give you the leverage you need to purchase a home at a lower price. With your pre-approval in hand, your negotiating power is increased and the seller will take your offer much more seriously because they know you are already approved by a lender. Pre-approval gives you the added benefit of shortening the time it takes to close making a lower bid additionally attractive to sellers who are seeking to move quickly. |
What does it cost to get Pre-Approved?
Pre-Approval is FREE! You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
