Mortgage Pre-Qualification

Determining what you have -- a financial inventory.


Please sign in with your name and the state in which you will be residing.

History has shown that real estate is one of the strongest long term investments. Here are a few reasons why:

  • Capital Appreciation
  • Tax Savings
  • Pride Of Ownership
  • Opportunity Costs (example: the money that would be lost making rent payments.)

    So how can you maximize the return on your investment and enjoy the most for your dollar? Step one is to examine your financial status with a mortgage "pre-qualification," or you may wish to be pre-approved.

    The painless process of pre-qualification can be completed by filling out the form below, however; to obtain the strongest position, one should obtain a pre-approval. The difference? A pre-qualification is based only on the information that you supply. A pre-approved loan has been through all of the credit analysis steps. After the information is verified, the lending institution will notify you in writing. With a pre-approved loan, you need only to find the right home.

    Why not put yourself into the strongest negotiating position?
