Do you want to buy a house or just tour homes? As a real estate professional, I sell homes. Showing homes to individuals that are not pre-approved a.k.a qualified to buy a home would make me a tour guide.
A buyer’s mortgage pre-approval is good for everyone in the transaction. That is why it’s a mandatory step in the home buying process and actually, I WILL NOT show anyone a house without having one. Why? It saves time, money and removes the uncertainty of knowing whether the buyer will be qualified after negotiating a contract.
The direct benefits include:
Looking at “Right” homes – price, size, amenities, location
Find the best loan – rate, term, type
Uncover credit issues early – time to cure possible problems
Negotiating power – price, terms, & timing
Close quicker – verifications have been made
There is a significant difference in having a trusted mortgage professional take a loan application and run all the necessary verifications compared to going through calculators on a lender’s website. Beside the peace of mind, the cost of being pre-approved is a bargain and generally, limited to the cost of the credit report.
Even if a person has been pre-approved, a second opinion from a different lender may be a good option. It can verify there is a good deal or you’ll discover that you can improve it. Either way, it works to your advantage.
