      What is mortgage pre-qualification?

      Mortgage pre-qualification enables you to begin the application process and gain helpful information even before you start looking at homes. 

      With pre-qualification, you’ll know how large of a mortgage you can may qualify for, which means you’ll know what pricepoint you’ll be looking in. You’ll know your spending limit, and will also be a more attractive buyer to sellers (because they will know you’ll be able to receive the financing you need to buy the property).

      While pre-qualification isn't actual approval, it can help speed up the approval process when you find the perfect home. Getting pre-qualified is quick and easy, and you can have an answer in minutes.
