To get pre-approved, you'll typically need to provide documentation of your income (recent pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns), assets (bank statements), employment verification, and identification (driver's license). We'll also run a credit check with your permission. The exact requirements may vary based on your specific situation.
How long does the process take?
Our pre-approval process typically takes just 24 hours once we have all your documentation. For more complex situations, it might take 48-72 hours. The full mortgage approval process after you've found a home usually takes 30-45 days to closing.
Can I buy with a low credit score?
Yes, there are several loan programs available for buyers with less-than-perfect credit. FHA loans, for example, may accept scores as low as 580 or even 500 with a larger down payment. VA and USDA loans also offer flexible credit requirements for eligible buyers. We can help you find the right program for your credit situation.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Absolutely! We specialize in helping first-time homebuyers navigate the mortgage process. We offer access to special programs with down payment assistance, competitive rates, and flexible qualification requirements specifically designed for first-time buyers.
What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Pre-qualification is an informal estimate of how much you might be able to borrow based on self-reported information. Pre-approval is a more formal process that includes verification of your credit, income, and assets, resulting in a conditional commitment from a lender for a specific loan amount. Pre-approval carries more weight with sellers.
Is there a fee for getting pre-approved?
No, we offer pre-approval at no cost and with no obligation. It's a free service we provide to help you understand your home buying options..
