A mortgage pre-approval is an important first step, but it isn’t the final approval.
A pre-approval gives you an early assessment of your finances and can help you understand what you may qualify for before you start seriously shopping for a home. Once you have an accepted offer, there’s still more for the lender to review.
The property itself needs to meet the lender’s requirements, and your income, employment, credit, debts and overall financial situation may need to be reconfirmed before closing. That’s also why taking on new debt or making major financial changes while purchasing a home can matter.
I can help you understand each stage of the mortgage approval process and what to expect between pre-approval and closing.
