Looking to buy your first home? Thinking about making a move? Here's how to make the mortgage process easier!
Getting Pre-Qualified:
Pre-qualification gives you a general idea of what you can afford. It’s based on your own assessment of your financial status, helping you set a budget and estimate monthly payments.
Getting Pre-Approved:
Pre-approval means a lender has verified your income and credit history and confirmed you qualify for a mortgage. It specifies the amount, term, and interest rate, making you a serious buyer in competitive markets.
Benefits of Pre-Approval:
Confirms the maximum amount you can spend
Secures an interest rate for 90-120 days
Shows sellers you’re ready to buy
Tips to Maintain Pre-Approval:
Avoid changing jobs or making large purchases
Don’t transfer large sums or open new credit accounts
Keep paying your bills on time
