BEFORE YOU MAKE AN OFFER
Know the Payment. Know the Cash. Know the Risks.
A useful preapproval does more than state a maximum loan amount. It should help you understand what you can buy, what the payment may look like, how much cash you may need and what documentation could affect approval.
Start with a short review. No obligation to proceed.

The Largest Approval Is Not Automatically the Right Budget.
Your purchase range should reflect more than lender guidelines. Consider the full housing payment, cash left after closing, future expenses, income stability and how long you expect to own the home. We provide the mortgage information and comparisons. You decide the budget that fits your life.
Down Payment Is Only Part of the Cash Required.
Estimated cash to close can include the down payment, lender charges, title and settlement costs, prepaid interest, insurance, taxes, initial escrow deposits and required reserves. Gift funds, sale proceeds and other sources may require documentation.
Prepare Before the House Creates Pressure.
Our Peace of Mind Program is the preparation path for buyers who have not signed a contract. We help organize the mortgage side before an offer is made: estimated buying power, payment ranges, cash requirements, documentation needs and the next approval step.
Before You Bid, Be Ready to Answer These Questions.
- What purchase price and payment range are you comfortable carrying?
- How much cash should remain after closing?
- Is the estimated loan conventional, high-balance or jumbo?
- Is income straightforward, variable, commissioned, self-employed or derived from assets?
- Are there large deposits, gifts or sale proceeds that must be documented?
- Does the property type create additional review?
- How quickly can the file move once a contract is signed?
