  • Pre-approval is when a lender checks your finances and decides how much you’re qualified to borrow for your home loan. This helps you determine your budget and makes your offer stand out for sellers.
  • Connect with your real estate agent so you have an expert on your side to help put you in touch with a trusted lender to get the process started.
