pre-approval

Why you should never start visiting homes without having secured your financing first.

Starting to visit houses in Saint-Joseph-de-Sorel or Yamaska without a mortgage pre-approval is like going grocery shopping without knowing how much money you have in your wallet. It is the very first step of any serious buying process.

1. Know your real borrowing capacity

Pre-approval gives you the straight facts on the maximum amount you can borrow, and consequently, the maximum price of the property you can target. This prevents you from wasting time visiting houses that are out of your budget or getting your heart broken.

2. Lock in your interest rate

One of the biggest advantages of pre-approval is that it allows you to lock in an interest rate for a period ranging from 90 to 120 days. If rates go up during your search, you are protected. If they go down, you will benefit from the lower rate. It's a win-win situation.

3. Be taken seriously by sellers

In the competitive real estate market of Sorel-Tracy and its surroundings, sellers want secure transactions. An offer to purchase accompanied by a pre-approval letter demonstrates that you are a qualified and serious buyer, which can make all the difference during negotiations or multiple offers.
