What is mortgage pre-approval?
In sum, pre-approval is granted by a financial institution, either directly or from an advisor, and it determines the maximum amount that you can allow yourself to spend on your future residence. Pre-approval also allows you to get an estimate of hypothetical payments.
Why is pre-approval essential?
Getting pre approved for your motgage can sometimes take multiple business days, depending on the institution.That being said, it’s also possible not to get approved on the first try, especially if you go knocking on the wrong door. With Nicolas Ouimet, you can rest assured knowing he’ll get you approved ASAP.
Being pre-approved prior to house shopping puts you on a level playing field with fellow competitors and interested buyers. If you’re ever caught in a bidding war, pre-approval places you at a significant advantage. A seller will be more inclined to accept an offer from a buyer who is pre-approved since he knows that the buyer will have the necessary funds and that the transaction will be able to take place quickly with no unwanted surprises.
