Understanding Mortgage Broker Pre-Approvals
You might be ready to live in your dream home, but are lenders ready to help you achieve that dream? Let us help you get prequalified or pre-approved for a mortgage before you start knocking on doors!
how does mortgage pre-approval work?
Getting preapproved is a crucial step in your homeownership ventures, helping you inch closer to confirm your creditworthiness. The best part is that it doesn’t even matter if you have a purchase contract–you can still get preapproved!
It starts with completing a mortgage application, from there we will verify your information, perform credit checks, and give you a preapproval letter. This letter serves as an offer to lend you the amount you require. This isn’t a commitment, but the next best thing. The offer is valid for 90 days from the day it gets issued. It might seem like a small step, but it’s a giant leap toward your dreams!
Think of mortgage preapproval certificates as the keychain to your house. You have a keychain; it’s time to start hanging some keys now. The certificate helps lenders understand that you have been verified and that you’re a serious home buyer. It is also indicative that you are good for the loan, further increasing your chances of securing finance.
