It's valuable to consult with your mortgage professional as soon as possible - even before you have started to consider neighborhoods. Why? How can we help before you have made your offer, and do not yet know the amount you want to borrow?

Pre-Qualify

We can help determine how much of a mortgage loan you can afford, and how much money you can borrow, by walking you through the pre-qualification process. In the process, we explore your ability to borrow - analyzing your employment, money available for down payment, debts, income, and other areas. We require a minimum amount of paperwork, with a quick process.

We'll award you a Pre-Qualification Letter when you qualify, that documents that we're confident you'll qualify for up to a predetermined amount of mortgage loan dollars.

Buying Clout

Armed with your pre-qualification letter, several advantages are yours when you locate the home you want to make an offer on. First, it helps you know the amount that you are able to offer. Being pre-qualified also will make your offer more attractive to the seller, as if you were bringing them a suitcase of cash! They won't have to wonder if they have been wasting their time if you can't have the ability to qualify for a high enough mortgage loan. The seller won't worry if he can count on you to qualify for your mortgage in the amount you will need. Your qualifying for your needed loan amount will not be something for them to be concerned about. They have a virtual guarantee that they can trust your buying power.
