Tips for mortgage pre-approval when buying a home in Gig Harbor
Mortgage pre-approval is one of the most important first steps in the home-buying process. It gives you a clear picture of how much you can afford (monthly payment) and shows sellers and Gig Harbor real estate agents that you’re a serious, qualified buyer.
We recommend having all your financial documents on hand, or easily accessible, before meeting with a lender to speed up the process. It’s also wise to shop around and speak with at least three lenders to compare interest rates, loan programs, and terms.
