Get pre-approved for a mortgage

Talk to a mortgage professional before you start the hunt and get pre-qualified, it will help you know what kind of a price and payment you can afford so you don’t fall in love with something that may be just out of your reach. You wouldn’t want to be looking at a $400,000 home on a $300,000 budget.

Pre-qualifying for a mortgage demonstrates that you are qualified and can afford a home. In the case of multiple offers, sellers look for those who are pre-qualified rather than those who aren’t.

To apply for pre-qualification you’ll have to find a lender. We’ve found that local banks are the most cooperative, but any bank of your choice will be able to help you get pre-qualified.

For questions, please call us at 208-313-3255 and we can set up an appointment to help you in this process.
