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.

5. Schedule the Home Inspection

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.

 

The property inspector will provide you with a detailed report explaining the condition of the property. It may be necessary to conduct further negotiations after the inspection.
