Below are some of the top reasons home buyers get a pre-approved mortgage.
Pre-Approval, Pre-Qualification, or Rate Hold
There are many misconceptions surrounding “pre-approvals”. When most banks speak of “pre-approvals” what they are actually talking about are “Rate Holds”. They basically mean that if you are actually approved for a mortgage when you go to purchase a home, they will guarantee you a specific interest rate. That’s it. Often, they don’t take the time to ask you the right questions, and actually qualify you for a mortgage amount that you can afford based on your income, credit history, available down-payment, other debt obligations, or what make sense to your individual needs.
The Right Price

In addition we will consider the payment that you are comfortable with given your overall lifestyle. Based on the outcome of this excercise we will set a price range for you to begin you home search.

By advising your agent and potential sellers that you have been pre-qualifed by your Grimsby mortgage broker, you establish that you are a serious potential buyer are are in a position to purchase the right home. .
Strengthen Your Negotiating Power
As a pre-approved buyer you can negotiate with greater confidence. The seller, and agent know that you mean business. They will be more eager to deal with you, than with someone that might not actually in a position to complete the purchase. Having your mortgage pre-approved actually makes it more likely for the seller to agree to adding a Condition of Financing to the contract.
