Getting pre-approved takes on new importance
If you are getting ready to buy a home you probably already know that lower home prices and interest rates have made homes much more affordable. But did you know that getting pre-approved for a mortgage can help you shop for and find a home that is right for you? Here’s why:
Find out how much you can afford to spend
It is no secret that lenders have tightened standards or that loan qualifications now tend to be a little bit stricter than they were a few years ago. At Tri-County Bank we will review your income, debts, assets and credit scores to make sure we are able to lend the money you need to purchase your dream home and not face a huge disappointment when you find that perfect place, only to find out later that you do not qualify for the loan. Getting pre-approved will allow you to look at properties in your price range, shop for and potentially make an offer on a home with confidence.
Getting pre-approved will introduce you to the loan application and approval process. You will learn about different loan programs, interest rates and monthly payments. You will be a well informed shopper armed with the pre-approval letter provided to you by your Lending Professional at Tri-County Bank.
How to get pre-approved
To get pre-approved for your home loan, call Tri County Bank and ask to speak to a Mortgage Loan Officer. (You can also utilize our on line application link, come in for a visit, or shoot us an e-mail.) You will be asked a few basic questions with regard to income, debt and assets and give the loan officer written permissions to check your credit report. This will give us enough information to get you a very good idea of a qualifying loan amount. Please keep in mind that at this stage the pre-approval is preliminary and to reach full approval status we will need to complete a full loan package with signed disclosures, verified income and assets, a contract on the property, clear title work and an appraisal will need to be received. This is why we encourage you to make an appointment or stop in and visit with our loan officers. We are here to help you through this process with the goal of you understanding the entire process with the end result of homeownership. We look forward to seeing you soon!
