FAQ's
What is a Pre-Approval?
A pre-approval is a preliminary assessment of how much you may qualify to borrow, including your estimated loan amount, interest rate, and terms based on the lender’s guidelines. This evaluation considers your income and credit information to determine your eligibility.
​
The biggest advantage of getting pre-approved is knowing exactly how much you can afford. This helps you focus your home search on properties within your price range, saving time and ensuring you look at homes that fit your budget.
​
Why do you require documents?
We require documents to verify the information provided in your application. These third-party records confirm your job history, current income, and assets, ensuring accuracy in the pre-approval process.
​
While not all lenders require documentation upfront, our team prioritizes providing reliable and accurate pre-approvals. When we say you’re pre-approved, you can trust that you’re on solid ground to close your home loan once you find the perfect home.
​
Why do I have to pay for my credit report?
Your credit report is essential for the pre-approval process, as it helps us assess your current debts—one of the key factors in determining how much you can borrow. By paying for the report, you’ll receive a copy to review for accuracy and see your credit score.
​
Do I need a real estate agent while house shopping?
Buying a home is a major financial decision, and having a skilled real estate agent can make all the difference. They guide you through the process—finding the right home, making a competitive offer, handling negotiations, and reviewing key documents. With their market expertise, real estate agents help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure a smoother, more informed buying experience.
​
Do I need a home inspection?
While an appraisal helps determine a home’s value, a home inspection gives you a detailed look at its condition. An inspection can uncover potential or existing issues before you commit to the purchase, helping you make an informed decision. A professional home inspector will evaluate the property’s systems and components, identifying any necessary repairs and estimating their costs. While not always required, a home inspection can provide peace of mind and help you avoid costly surprises down the road.
