The buying process

When mortgage loan officers consider your application they will consider your income and debts, your employment and residence situations, your available funds for down payment and required reserves. they use this information to pre-qualify you for a loan.

Once you qualify, you receive a pre-qualification letter which says that the bank is working with you to find the best loan to meet your needs and that the bank is confident you will qualify for a loan for a stated amount.

When you find the home of your dreams, you make an offer to buy it.  Because you are pre-qualified you know how much you can offer. Your real estate agent will help you decide on an appropriate offer.

Know that the home is priced correctly

Homes must be inspected by licensed real estate appraisers. A written appraisal (opinion of value) is provided to you before closing the purchase agreement.
