When should I get pre-approved for a mortgage?

In order to save yourself the heart ache of looking at homes you love, but then find out you can’t afford, we recommend that you get pre-approved for a mortgage before you go out looking at homes in person. The pre-approval process is simple and does not obligate you to anything. You can get pre-approved online in our mortgage center, or if you would prefer to get pre-approved by a mortgage broker, just call us at (800) 231-9153. Most importantly, when you find a home you love and are ready to make an offer, your loan pre-approval will give you an advantage over other buyers because the seller will know you have the financing to successfully close.
