1. Get Pre Approved
"What does it mean to be Pre Approved?"
This means that the mortgage lender has checked your credit, employment & income.
"Why do I need to be Pre Approved first?"
After checking your credit, employment & income, the lender gives us a solid base on your Price Range on purchasing a home. This helps us to accurately search & show homes to you.
By getting your lender all required & accurate forms, the Pre Approval process can be quick & painless!
2. House Shopping!
Now for the fun part ;)
Once the lender tells us that you are pre approved & gives us a home loan amount, we will look up homes in your comfortable price range!
We will schedule showings for your top homes and do walk thru's with you.
Keeping an open mind & imagination is the key to envisioning a home for YOU.

Yay! You found a home & you are ready to make an offer.
Now is the time to discuss the terms: Purchase Price, Home Warranty, Deadlines, etc.

The Seller's will then review your Purchase Offer, while we wait for a response :)
