Let’s get started—are you pre-approved?

After You're Pre-Approved: Confirm You're Making a Smart Choice

• Define Affordability for You and All Decision Makers: Make sure everyone involved agrees on what “affordable” means—consider monthly payments, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
• Understand Your Credit: A higher credit score can unlock better mortgage options and lower costs. Know where you stand and improve it if possible.
• Choose the Right Mortgage Type: Decide whether a fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, or another loan type fits your financial plans best.
• Determine the Right Down Payment: Consider how much to put down—balancing your savings, monthly payments, and future financial flexibility.
• Weigh Points vs. Interest Rate: Understand the trade-off: paying more upfront (points) can lower your interest rate and save money over time.
• Shop Multiple Lenders: Always compare at least three mortgage estimates to find the best deal for your situation.
• Select the Best Mortgage for You: Evaluate your options based on total cost, loan terms, and how they align with your goals.
• Avoid Pitfalls and Prepare for Issues: Stay alert for hidden fees, changing terms, or delays—and know how to handle problems that may come up.
