Financing
First, get pre-approved by a lender to understand your borrowing capacity. Next, work with a loan officer to select the best mortgage program for your needs. After your offer is accepted, complete the full loan application and submit required documents. The lender will order an appraisal and title search, and the loan package is reviewed by an underwriter. Finally, once approved, you sign the paperwork and close the deal, officially owning your home.
Getting pre-approved involves a lender reviewing your income, assets, debts, and credit to determine how much you can borrow. This letter strengthens your offers by demonstrating financial readiness, making you a more attractive buyer. Jared Hokanson encourages buyers to get pre-approved early to streamline the home search and buying process.
You can use the mortgage calculator on the Hokanson Realty site to input your home price, loan term, interest rate, down payment, and other costs. This tool provides an estimated monthly payment, helping you budget and plan your finances before making an offer.
