Pre-Qualify

We will help you calculate the loan amount you can qualify for and the mortgage payment amount you can afford by helping you pre-qualify. In the process, we look at your borrowing power - looking at your earning status, available money for down payment, debt, income, and other circumstances. It's quick and to the point; We take pride in keeping the paperwork light.

When you are considered eligible, we will prove our confidence in your capacity to qualify for a mortgage by giving you a Pre-Qualification Letter (also known as a "pre-qual").

Pre-Qualification Power

Several advantages open to you when you have found your dream house, and have achieved pre-qualification. The first is that you can know what you'll be able to afford when putting together the offer. Even more important to the existing owner, your pre-qualification letter gives them confidence - as if you had entered their home with a suitcase of cash to back up the offer! They won't need to be concerned that they have been wasting their time if you can't be able to qualify for a high enough mortgage loan. The seller won't worry if he can count on you to qualify for your mortgage in the amount you will need.Your qualifying for the necessary loan amount will not be something for them to lose sleep over. They have a virtual guarantee that they can trust your ability to back up your offer.
