Get Pre-Approved

IF YOU MAKE meeting with your bank’s mortgage specialist the first step, you’ll learn how much you can afford to spend, based on your personal income and financial situation. You’ll be surprised at how confident you feel. Doing this even before you contact a real estate agent gives you several advantages:

• It lets the real estate agent know you are serious about looking for a home;
• It saves time with the real estate agent, because you can let him/her know exactly how much you can afford to spend;
• It narrows your focus in your search, saving you time;
• It saves time in eliminating conditions on an offer (which, in a busy market, can be an advantage over other offers).
