Credit Checks, Pre-Approval, & Your Price Range
Before you start the home search, let's make sure your finances are in top shape. Knowing your credit score and getting pre-approved for a mortgage are crucial first steps. They’ll help you set a realistic budget and give you an edge when you find the perfect home. I can guide you through understanding your financial picture, so you’re ready to make a smart offer when the time comes. If you are an “all cash” buyer, you will need to provide the seller with a Proof of Funds letter from your preferred financial institution.
