Benefits of NOT WAITING to Get a Pre-Approval

By
Mortgage and Lending with LOCAL Bank NMLS #2803901

Be honest. Have you started looking at homes online yet? Because if you have, it’s already time to get pre-approved. Don’t be tempted to wait until you’re really serious about a house, that actually puts you behind in the game. Getting pre-approved before you fall in love with something is the better bet. It’ll give you clarity on what you can borrow, your ideal price point, and what your monthly payment could look like. That’s information you’re going to want up front, so you can make the best possible real estate and financing decisions. Plus, when a house you love hits the market, you’ll be ready to go – not scrambling to figure it out. And sellers love pre-approved buyers!

Lisa, nothing worse than taking a buyer out that KNOWS what they can afford, and when they find the perfect home, find out their pricepoint is not what they were thinking.

The home of your dreams JUST went on the market and you are READY TO GO with your preapproval before another buyer beats you to it.

Sellers definitely take pre-approved buyers more seriously—huge advantage.

As a former real estate broker, I insisted on buyers getting their pre-approval before I invested a lot of time showing homes...that they might not be able to even consider!
