Step 3: Obtain Financial Pre-Approval

 A preliminary commitment in writing from a lender stating that a borrower will qualify for a particular loan amount, based under a lender’s guidelines.

Most lender letters are valid for 90-days and the process takes 2-3 days.

Step 5: Produce Offer

Once we find the home of your dreams, we’ll submit an official offer — including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
