We all know the importance of being pre-qualified prior to making an offer. But there is something else you need to know too!

Richard Weisser offers some very good advice to home buyers prior to starting their search.  Getting pre-qualified is becoming common place and it only makes sense to get this important step out of the way first.

Original content by Richard Weisser

Most home buyers know that the first step when purchasing a home is Getting your ducks in a road before making an offer!to secure financing. What many may not know, is that you not only need to be pre-qualified but you also need to know the TYPE of loan that will be obtained.

Some loans add additional burdens on the contractual parties, and it is very important that everyone knows their duties and responsibilities at the time of agreement.

Changing the type of loan in midstream often requires amendment and mutual agreement, and can delay the approval process.

The best time to “shop” for a loan is prior to making an offer. A qualified loan officer can assist you with all the options and the ancillary requirements.

And getting all of your “ducks in a row” first can save a lot of headaches down the road!

It just seems like common sense but folks sometimes forget that the money is coming from some place!

Gary: I am often surprised at how many home buyers either don't know to do this but so important to get this out of the way first.  Brings great peace of mind to the buyer and opens the door to enjoy the home search so much more.

Donna,

I agree and I'm surprised as well; by obtaining the prequal first the buyers have the lender's perspective on their homeownership dream.

Good speed,

Steve
