Getting pre-approved is an exciting first step—but what happens next?
Once you know what you may be able to afford, you can begin your home search with a clearer plan and a better understanding of your budget.
A few things to keep in mind along the way:
• Connect with a real estate agent and start exploring homes
• Stay within a comfortable price range
• Avoid making major financial changes or opening new credit
• Keep your loan officer updated as you move through the process
Pre-approval helps you start the homebuying process prepared and ready for what comes next.
