Advantages of getting Pre-Qualified for a Loan

  1. The most important is that it saves you and your Realtor TIME!!
  2. You and your Realtor know what price range property you should be looking at.
  3. With a written pre-qualification letter from your lender, you can usually negotiate a better sales price.
  4. When you find the right property, you won't have to wait weeks to see if you qualify and then be disappointed when the Lender says "NO WAY".
  5. The Realtor's livelehood depends on commissions and they only get paid when a transaction closes, so he/she is more likely to invest the time and energy to find the right property for you.

Finding the right Loan Officer for you

We all have our favorite Loan officers we deal with. We know from experience that when they tell you that you are qualified for X amount of mortgage, that we can rely on that to get you the best possible sales price, you owning the piece of property you want, and make all involved in the transaction happy! Friends, associates, and others may tell you about their horror stories, but try to listen to your Realtor about who he/she recommends (Don't forget, The Realtor is only paid when a sale closes). We all have our horror stories of dealing with some lenders that have made promises to a buyer, but when it comes time to close, they can not deliver the promised product. This makes you and the Realtor representing you look foolish!!! There are many different types of loan programs available today and one that fits your circumstances best.

So - Ask your Realtor for the loan officer he recommends.
