Getting 

Approved

Why is it important to be pre-approved?

​

To be a serious buyer in today's market, most sellers will not accept an offer unless you have been pre-approved by a bank/lender. Obtaining pre-approval is determined by a number of factors. Banks/lenders will verify basic information such as FICO scores, work history, identification, assets, and income. Most sellers will want to see pre-approval documents prior to accepting an offer in order to minimize any potential risks during the escrow process. You can get pre-approval from either a bank or your preferred lender. 

​

My opinion as your realtor: 

​

Get pre-approved! Besides the aforementioned factors, as a realtor a pre-approval letter lets me know what your budget is to buy a home. 

​

How to get pre-approved:

​

You can get pre-approved from either your bank or your preferred lender, what ever you feel most comfortable with.
