Steps to Finding Your Perfect Home

Understanding how to find and finance the perfect home for you

> Determine How Much House You Can Afford

> Get Prequalified and Preapproved for Your Mortgage

Before you start looking for a home, you will need to know how much you can actually spend. The best

way to do that is to get prequalified for a mortgage. To get prequalified, you just need to provide some financial

information to your mortgage banker, such as your income and the amount of savings and investments you have.

They will review this information and tell you how much we can lend you. This will tell you the price range of the

homes you should be looking at.

> Find the Right Real Estate Agent

Real estate agents are important partners when you’re buying or selling a home. Real estate agents can

provide you with helpful information on homes and neighborhoods that isn’t easily accessible to the public. Their

knowledge of the home buying process, negotiating skills, and familiarity with the area you want to live in can be

extremely valuable. And best of all, it doesn’t cost you anything to use an agent – they’re compensated from the

commission paid by the seller of the house.
