This is normal, right?
You find the perfect house online.
You schedule a showing.
You fall in love.
Then you start looking for a mortgage.
The problem?
You might find out the house costs more than you can afford. You could miss out on loan programs or down payment assistance that could save you thousands. You may not know what monthly payment actually fits your budget. And while you're figuring all that out, another buyer who's already pre-approved may submit an offer first.
Getting pre-approved before you start house hunting doesn't mean you're committing to buy a home.
It simply helps you with:
How much home can you afford Have more people take you seriously How much money can you save
The best first step in buying a home isn't finding a house.
It's finding out what you can buy before you start shopping.
