The Power of Pre-Approval
Pre-approval provides peace of mind while strengthening your buying power.
Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. It’s exciting to scroll through listings and walk through potential dream homes, but before you get swept away, it’s important to have your finances in order.
That’s where mortgage pre-approval comes in. This simple step can save you thousands of dollars, give you clarity on your budget and put you in a stronger position when it comes time to make an offer.
Here’s why getting pre-approved should be at the very top of your home-buying checklist:
Mortgage Matchmaker
A mortgage broker will review your finances, explain mortgage types (fixed vs. variable, open vs. closed) and help you choose the best option for your needs today and in the future.
Focus On What Fits
Pre-approval sets clear boundaries for your budget, helping you focus on homes you can afford without the heartbreak of falling in love with ones that are out of reach.
Give Yourself Credit
During pre-approval, your mortgage broker will review your credit report with you, flagging concerns and suggesting ways to boost your score to help you get the best rate.
Get With the Program
A mortgage broker can help you explore special programs or incentives that can make buying a home easier and much more affordable.
Secured Savings
Most lenders will secure today’s interest rate for a set period to protect you if rates go up. This simple step could save you thousands over the life of your mortgage.
A Winning Move
A pre-approval can give you the edge in multiple-offer situations, which could mean the difference between winning or losing the home of your dreams.
Pre-approval costs nothing, takes little effort, and carries no obligation, but it delivers major benefits that will provide peace of mind while potentially saving you thousands of dollars!
If you’re thinking about buying, don’t wait until you’ve already found “the one". Take this small, proactive step early, so that you can enjoy the homebuying process knowing that you have everything in order.
