What does pre-approval actually get you?

Two things, and the first one is internal. You stop spending Saturdays in houses you were never going to be able to buy, which saves you a couple of months and a fair bit of heartache.

The second is what happens when a seller has two similar offers on the table and one of them arrives with a lender's letter attached.

Falling behind on a mortgage is the kind of thing people keep quiet about for months.

That silence is the expensive part.

Three or four payments down, you still have genuine choices in front of you, including selling the house on a timeline you set rather than one a court sets, and possibly a short sale if you owe more than the place would fetch.

What shrinks those choices is time, not the amount owed.

A lender will nearly always take a call from someone who rings them in month two, and nearly never negotiate with someone who has spent six months not answering the phone.

If this is where you are, it is worth a conversation before it becomes a decision.

How long does selling actually take?

Getting the house ready is the part you control, and it usually runs a week or two, unless you find something behind the washing machine that you would rather not have found.

Time on the market is the part nobody can honestly promise, because it depends on your price measured against every other house a buyer walks through that same weekend.

Closing takes another four to six weeks after that.

My free book gets into what actually shortens that middle stretch, and I will send you a copy.

Everyone says the first step is looking at houses.

Start with a lender instead, because until you know what you can borrow and what that monthly payment actually feels like against your paycheck, every listing you fall for is really just a guess. It also means that when the right place turns up on a Tuesday, you can do something about it on Tuesday.

Three houses on my street sold last October, all of them inside about three weeks.

The people shopping this time of year have usually already lost something they wanted over the summer, and that makes them faster and more decisive than the crowd who were still window shopping in May. Ask me for a free copy of my book if you are weighing the timing.

You do not need to renovate anything before you list.

Fix what a buyer clocks in the first ten seconds, which is the dripping tap, the door that sticks in humid weather, the cracked tile by the back step, and the two bulbs nobody has replaced since spring. Leave the kitchen alone unless something in it is actually broken, because a full remodel almost never returns what you put into it.

My free book covers where that line sits, and the link below will get you a copy.
