The Very Important First Step 

Pre-approval on your mortgage loan is the most important step in getting the home of your dreams.

Buyers can get in a hurry to shop for a home and forget the most important aspect of home buying - financing. It can be devastating for a buyer to find the home of their dreams only to discover they can't qualify for the mortgage. As a smart buyer, your first step is to get your mortgage loan approved before you go shopping for a home.

  • Pre-approval removes sellers' doubts - An approved mortgage is like money in your pocket!
  • Pre-approval removes your doubt - A pre-approved loan tells you exactly how much you can afford. It reduces your home-buying anxiety.
  • Pre-approval gives you better positioning in the negotiation process - Smart buyers do whatever is necessary to position themselves at the top in negotiations. That's where I want my buyers to be.
  • Pre-approval saves you time - No more waiting several weeks after your offer is accepted to find out whether you can get your loan.

That sounds great! How can I get pre-approved?
Getting approved for a mortgage loan is easy! First, we can make an appointment with a lender who will give you the best loan available to meet your needs. Next, you must gather the paperwork required by the lender to begin your loan process:
