Last week, the TOP BUYER TIP in today’s seller’s market was to get pre-qualified (unless, of course, you are paying cash for your next home.) So, what does pre-qualified actually mean, and how do you get started?
Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage loan requires that you select a mortgage lender (Don’t know who – I have a few that I worked with for years and come highly recommended) to work with and obtain your loan. Visit our website for our preferred partners
Really, mortgage pre-qualification is a promise from the lender that you’re qualified to borrow up to a certain amount of money at a specific interest rate, subject to a property appraisal and other documentation. And in most cases, it’s FREE. Yes, I said FREE.
In today’s housing market, without one, you don’t stand a chance. Sellers are receiving multiple offers on their homes within hours of putting them on the market. Having a pre-qualification letter in hand proves to the seller that you are serious about moving forward and provides you with bargaining power.
