I've talked about this before, but I want to stress it again—whether you're a first-time homebuyer or it's your tenth time purchasing a home, the first step you need to take is getting pre-approved for a mortgage. If you're not paying with cash, the pre-approval is essential. No real estate agent is going to show you homes without a valid pre-approval in hand. It’s your ticket to essentially start shopping for your dream home.
The pre-approval process itself is super easy, and with my approach, it's incredibly fast. Let me walk you through how simple it is. First, I’ll text or email you a link. You click on it and fill out the necessary information. Once I get the notification that you’ve completed the form, I’ll give you a call to clean up the application details. Then, I run your credit, which gives me the information I need to outline your next steps.
If you don’t qualify right away, no worries—I’ll guide you on what needs to be done to get you there. On the other hand, if you do qualify, I’ll present your mortgage options, and I’ll draft your pre-approval letter, which will be sent to both you and your real estate agent. And if you don’t have an agent yet, don’t worry—I can refer you to a trusted professional in your area. It really is that simple.
Now, if you’ve been working with some of the big banks or large credit unions, and they’re telling you it’s going to take two or three days, or even a week, to get a pre-approval letter—that’s just ridiculous. With my process, I can typically have pre-approval letters out within an hour of our initial introduction. There’s no need to wait around. I make the process quick, efficient, and stress-free.
If you have any questions or are curious about what’s included in a mortgage pre-approval, feel free to reach out to me. Whether by text or email, I’m always available. I wanted to share this because it’s so important, especially now that rates are starting to come down a little bit. I expect more buyers will be back in the market soon, and you absolutely need to have that pre-approval ready to go. It’s the first step in the home-buying process, and I’m here to make it as easy as possible for you.
So remember, if you're thinking about buying a home, your first move is to get pre-approved. And I’m here to help you every step of the way. Have a great day!
