Securing a loan pre-approval before beginning your home search is essential. Your lender will work with you to determine a comfortable price range, giving you and your Realtor a clear target for homes within your budget.
Having a pre-approval letter in hand is crucial when making an offer; it shows the seller your ability to secure financing, which strengthens your position as a buyer.
Through this process, you’ll gain insights into mortgage options, including how interest rates and loan types vary. While you don’t need to finalize your loan choice until after your offer is accepted, an early understanding of your financing options can make the homebuying process smoother and more efficient.
