Planning Your Mortgage and Seeking Pre-approval
The
Benefits of a Professional Consultant
Choosing the right lender is a key element to managing
your mortgage. As a mortgage consultant, my goal is not just to provide
you with a loan, but also to help select the one most beneficial to you
and your long-term goals, and then, help you manage that debt over
time.
There are not many lenders out there who
provide this type of personalized service.
My job is just beginning when your first loan closes. I will
continuously monitor rates on your behalf, and stay in touch with you
to make sure we remain on target with your financial goals.
Seek Pre-Approval
What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Pre-qualificationis
the starting point in your search for mortgage financing. A quick
snapshot is taken which includes income, existing debt, savings, length
of employment, etc. All of these factors will then be analyzed to
determine your loan eligibility.
Pre-approvalis
written documentation that shows you have the support of a lender who
is willing to finance you. It means an underwriter has reviewed your
loan application. Based on your income, debt ratio and savings, the
underwriter provides the dollar amount you are eligible to borrow. Now
you can shop around for houses that fit into that loan amount category.
Here is the
nice thing about the pre-approval: It
gives you the leverage to shop as a cash buyer! With a pre-approval in
hand, you now have the power to negotiate. The seller will take your
offer much more seriously knowing you are already approved by a lender.
Pre-approval can also shorten the time it takes to close, making even a
lower bid attractive to sellers who are seeking to move quickly.
