You can still be denied for a mortgage loan, even after going through the process of getting pre-approved!

Your credit score is checked by mortgage loaners during the stage of pre-approval, as well as before closing. Be sure to maintain the status quo of your credit score. Don't open, close or apply for any lines of credit. This can lower your credit score as well as increase your debt-to-income ratio. This is a huge mistake homebuyers must be sure to avoid so that the lender will not deny final approval.

Interested in beginning your process to becoming a homeowner? Contact us today, we would love to help you make that dream come true.
