2. Obtain Lender Pre-Approval
Pre -Approval for a home is obtained through a mortgage lender and involves an application process. If you are not already working with a lender your agent will provide you with a list of lenders who can help you.
Lenders have made loan applications very easy to complete. In most cases you’ll have the choice of applying online, over the phone, or in person. Lenders will base your loan amount on your income, credit rating, debt load, money for down payment, etc. Once you are pre-approved, your lender will issue a pre-approval letter, letting sellers know that you are a qualified buyer.

Find Your Home & Make an Offer
Based on the criteria and goals identified during your buyer consultation you and your agent will set out to find the ideal property for you and ultimately present the offer to the seller

It is important to have the property inspected by a professional home inspector. If you don’t have an inspector in mind your agent will provide you with a list of professional certified inspectors to choose from.
