Advantages of Getting Pre-Approved for a Home Loan
- Stand Out from the Competition A pre-approval letter shows sellers that you are not only financially capable of purchasing their home but also that you are a serious homebuyer who has already taken the first step in the home-buying process. Thus, getting pre-approved helps your offer stand out from the competition in competitive housing markets, for homes with multiple bids, or to sellers who want to sell fast.
- Establish Your Budget The process of getting pre-approved requires a lot of the same information as a mortgage application, so your lender will be able to accurately determine the price range you can afford based on an overview of your finances. By getting pre-approved, you will be able to accurately determine your budget and make sure you do not waste time viewing homes out of your price range.
- Identify Issues with Your Application Even responsible borrowers who pay their bills on time and have a reasonable debt-to-income ratio may still have unexpected issues with their mortgage application. By applying for early pre-approval, however, you will have time to fix any financial issues with your application that your mortgage lender identifies and make your application more competitive.
- Fast Closing Most of your financial information is verified during the pre-approval application, which allows for a smoother and faster closing process on your new home.
