A lot of clients have been asking me whether or not they should be pre-approved before they go out and search for homes.

You absolutely need to be pre-approved for a home loan, and this is true for many reasons.
  1. When you walk into a home you want to know that you can afford to purchase it. Otherwise, you're just wasting your time looking at homes.
  2. When you're preparing an offer, you look much better in the eyes of a seller when you have been pre-approved. It's important to prove to a seller that you have the funds to buy the home.
  3. This helps in multiple offer situations, which have become more common lately.
It doesn't take a lot of time to get pre-approved, and we can direct you to one of our local lenders to assist you with this. 

Whatever you do, it's absolutely imperative that you get pre-approved before you even start looking for a home.
