Tips for planning and managing a mortgage
Get Pre-Approved
Buying a home can be a very exciting time! It is also one of the biggest financial investments you will ever make! So before you fall in love with your dream home, meet with one of our lenders to determine the amount of mortgage you will qualify for.
A pre-approval lets you know how much you can afford, what your interest rate will be and what your mortgage payments will look like. This can help you narrow down your search to a specific price-range.
A pre-approval is not a guarantee of final mortgage approval. Once you’ve found the home for you, the property still has to be evaluated to ensure the price and condition of the home are acceptable. Provide your accepted offer to purchase to your lender as soon as possible so they can finalize the mortgage.
