As an experienced agent, I can help you maximize your time by only
considering homes that meet your budget requirements. To be in a strong
position to negotiate with a seller, it's best to be pre-approved for a
mortgage.
That means you have a written commitment from a lender for a specific
mortgage amount. To a seller, that means you're a serious buyer.
Prequalification is also an option, but that is only an estimate of how
much you should qualify for.
There are many different financing options that should be investigated
thoroughly before making a final decision. You're past credit history
and the amount of outstanding debt will each play a part in the
qualification process.
If you're considering a move, or hear that any family, friends, neighbors or colleagues are, please feel free to contact me.
