As a result, an offer based on a pre-qualification may be less accurate or certain than an offer based on a pre-approval. Make sure to get pre-approved today to get started on your house hunting journey!

A mortgage is a type of loan used to purchase or maintain a home, land, or other types of real estate. The borrower agrees to pay the lender over time, typically in a series of regular payments that are divided into principal and interest. The property then serves as collateral to secure the loan. A borrower must apply for a mortgage through their preferred lender and ensure that they meet several requirements, including minimum credit scores and down payments. Mortgage applications go through an underwriting process before they reach the closing phase. Mortgage types vary based on the needs of the borrower, such as conventional and fixed-rate loans.

Before buying a home, you need to wrestle with these two things: your budget and your non-negotiable list.⁣
Your budget: Sit down with a reputable bank or mortgage lender to get pre-approved. Plus, a pre-approval letter will strengthen your offers.⁣
Your non-negotiables: These are your “must-haves” in a new home. Need to stay in the same school district? Need a fenced yard for the dog or a guest room for grandma? Keep this list short, but clear. You may need to reference it when the emotions of buying ramp up.⁣
