Why Pre-Qualify for a Home Loan?

Whether you are planning to use your VA loan benefits or apply for a conventional loan – one important step is pre-qualifying for a home loan. Pre-qualification for a loan means that you have been initially screened and approved by a mortgage lender. It doesn’t only help manage your expectations, but it aids in the entire real estate process.

Here’s why you should pre-qualify for a loan before you even go house shopping:

  • Loan pre-qualification shows you the price range of houses you should look at, depending on the amount of money you’ve been approved to borrow.
  • Loan pre-qualification for a VA Loan by your mortgage lender will ensure that you DO have VA loan benefits.
  • Loan pre-qualification will show your sellers that you’re serious about your offer and ready to buy their house.
  • Loan pre-qualification will help both the listing agent and buyer’s agent keep the process moving quickly and smoothly.
