A Home Loan Pre-Qualification has become a crucial first step in buying a home. The Pre-Qualification is a simple, easy way for you to find out ahead of time if you will qualify for a home loan, the loan amount you will qualify for, and the kind of monthly payments you can afford. In today's home buying market, buyers generally need a Pre-Qualification Letter in hand before a Realtor will begin showing them homes. We've been in an environment with a low inventory of home for sale and a high volume of potential buyers. Having that Pre-Qualification Letter in hand shows Realtors and Sellers that you are a serious buyer who already has financing in place. Contact us today for information on how you can get Pre-Qualified!
