Getting Pre-Qualified
The homebuying process is all about the details. Beyond finding the perfect home or dream lot to build it on, and the ideal location, getting pre-qualified for a mortgage is vital to your success. You may know what you can afford, but that doesn’t mean the builder or Realtor® of your choice does. In fact, many of these professionals won’t even start the conversation until you pre-qualify.
Early in the home buying journey, there is little time to waste. Perhaps you found the ideal property, but there are likely several interested buyers who feel the same. To make matters worse, the majority of this competition is already pre-qualified, and many of them can pay in cash.
Finally, delaying your pre-qualification can be costly, resulting in higher mortgage rates and closing costs.
