Knowing Your Numbers is powerful: A complete understanding of your budget and how much home you can afford is essential. That’s why you should connect with a lender to get pre-approved for a loan early in the homebuying process. Taking this step creates momentum, and manifest your intention, and shows sellers you’re a serious buyer, but most importantly, you will feel empowered by knowing exactly where you stand financially, and the paperwork you will need along the escrow process.

I  work with a long list of fantastic lenders and I wanted to share their contact information, which you can access by clicking the link HERE.

A lender will need documentation to get started with your buying power pre-approval process.

In the meantime, take a look at the pre-approval checklist HERE.

Again, my hope is to be a great real estate resource for you. So please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
