Buying a Home

Getting Preapproved

A very important step in the home buying process is to get preapproved for a home loan. This ensures that you will be able to get the necessary financing. It also gives you a price point to work within, and it will provide you with a preapproval letter to present to a seller to show that you can obtain the funds to purchase the home.

This is a very easy process and can be done quite quickly and easily. If you have a lender that you will be using that's great. Get the process started with them, get your pre-approval letter, and you're ready to go.

Kudos:

"We love the new place, started moving stuff in already. But really, you made this whole process a lot better. We had everyone recomending friends, and others to do this for us. And from that first time you showed us the place, I just felt you were great, and I felt like we really didn't need to look any further for a great agent. Ellen agreed, and I have to say, you didn't meet our expectations, you exceeded them. All of your advice and insight in every step of this process was so valuable to us. Being first time buyers, we didn't know a whole lot about this process, but in your hands, it really wasn't a scary process. You were there for us as an agent, but if felt like you were there as a good friend with honest knowledgable advice, thats what I think I valued the most. We'll have to have you over for dinner sometime, it would truly be our honor" :)
