Why it's Important to Pre-Qualify

It's helpful to consult with your mortgage professional as soon as possible — even before you've begun narrowing down neighborhoods. What for? When you don't yet know how much home you need to qualify for, how can we help?

Pre-Qualify

When we pre-qualify you, we help you figure out the amount in mortgage payments you can fit in your budget, and the loan amount you will qualify for. We can do this by reviewing your income and debts, your work and housing situations, your available funds for a down payment, required reserves, and some other things. We require a minimum amount of paperwork, and avoid a lengthy process.

After you are determined to be eligible, we will prove our confidence in your ability to qualify for a loan by awarding you a Pre-Qualification Letter (also known as a "pre-qual").

Buying Clout

Some benefits open to you once you've found your next house, and have pre-qualification power. The first is that you will be sure what you'll be able to afford when calculating the offer. Of greater importance to the home seller, your pre-qualification is like your having walked into their house with a suitcase full of cash to make the deal! They will not have to wonder if they're wasting their time if you don't be able to qualify for a high enough mortgage. The seller won't worry if he can trust you to qualify for your loan.Your qualifying for the necessary loan amount will not be something for them to fret over. You have the capability to back up your offer.
