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 lender in order to minimize any potential risks during the escrow process. Obtaining pre-approval is determined by a number of factors. Lenders will verify basic information such as FICO scores, work history, identification, assets, and income.
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 a lender of your choosing, or my preferred lender.
