Get
Preapproved
The
first step in the home buying process to get preapproved. A mortgage
consultant will review your credit, job history, and situation to find
a program that fits for you. You will then know what your buying power
is! Niego Real Estate can connect you to several lenders. Please call

If
you are thinking about purchasing a home, it can mean the difference
between your offer being accepted or rejected!
Many people only take the first step and pre-qualify for their mortgage.
This only takes in to account their gross income and monthly obligations
with no verification of the information or review of their credit history.
A seller has no guarantee that this offer is coming from someone who
can actually purchase their home.
A pre-approved buyer has met with their mortgage consultant and completed
a credit application, documented their financial situation and reviewed
their credit report. They approach a seller with a commitment letter
from their lender stating that they are pre-approved for a mortgage
up to a certain amount based on the property appraising at the asking
price or higher. The seller views them as a "cash" buyer since
their loan is guaranteed to be in place on the closing day.
When taking competitive bids, the seller will give more weight to the
pre-approved buyer to avoid the risk that a pre-qualified buyer will
not be able to obtain a mortgage and the deal will fall through.
