📋 Pre-Approval Explained

Thinking about buying a home? Your first step should be getting pre-approved not browsing listings!

Here’s why:

✅ Know your budget. A pre-approval tells you how much a lender may be willing to lend based on your finances.

✅ Shop with confidence. You’ll focus on homes that fit your budget and avoid disappointment.

✅ Stand out to sellers. A pre-approval letter shows sellers you’re a serious buyer, which can strengthen your offer.

What do you need?

• Proof of income (pay stubs/W-2s)
• Tax returns
• Bank statements
• Employment information
• Permission for the lender to check your credit

💡 Tip: A pre-approval is different from a pre-qualification. A pre-approval involves a more detailed review of your financial information and typically carries more weight with sellers.

Let’s clear up one of the biggest homebuying misconceptions…

❌ You do NOT need 20% down to buy a home.

Many people delay their dream of homeownership because they think they have to save tens of thousands of dollars before they can even start looking.

✨ Here’s the truth:
There are loan programs that allow qualified buyers to purchase a home with as little as 0%–3.5% down, depending on the program.

That means your dream home may be closer than you think!

If you’ve been waiting because you thought you needed 20% down, let’s have a conversation. We can discuss your options, connect you with a trusted lender, and create a plan that’s right for you.

🏠 Homeownership is possible and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
