Step 1: Pre-qualifyRemain open and honest about the

information 

Provide accurate numbers or you could

damage your credibility with lenders and

affect your ability to get a mortgage 

Fully disclose anything the lender may

need to know

Step 2: Pre-approval

Being pre­approved can make the

home buying process move faster

Pre­approval will also tell you how much

you can afford, therefore, helping you

narrow down your search for a home

love with a home you can't afford can

ruin your search

Step 4: Make an Offer

Don't make an offer higher than what the

property is appraised for

Your cap offer should be the maximum

appraisal price to ensure your bank will

provide the loan amount

Step 5: Lock in Your Interest Rate

If you have made it to this step your offer

has been accepted and your interest rate

will not change

signing, ask to see some of the

documents ahead of time for your review

This will ensure you are prepared the day

of signing and if you have any questions

about the documents you will have them

ready at closing
