You’re looking at houses… but skipping this step first. 👀🏡
Before you fall in love with a home, make sure you know exactly what you qualify for and what the real costs will look like.
A proper mortgage pre-approval is more than just a quick approval estimate online.
It means:
✔️ Reviewing your income and documents properly
✔️ Understanding your down payment options and other associated costs, i.e., CMHC fees, and possibly avoiding them
✔️ Monthly payments, other costs, and payment frequencies
✔️ Understanding of conditions, terms, and available options
✔️ Preparing for land transfer tax, legal fees, and other expenses
✔️ Making sure there are no surprises upon closing
For most people, this is the biggest financial commitment of their lifetime. Having the right guidance matters.
