Purchase questions, answered
What is the difference between pre approval and approval
Pre approval sets a budget range based on early information, while full approval happens after an accepted offer and full lender review.
Full answer
Pre approval is an early review that sets a purchase range and helps you shop confidently. Full approval happens after a specific property is under contract, documents are verified, and the lender has reviewed the property details and conditions.
How much down payment do I need
Minimums depend on purchase price and property type, and we confirm the exact amount and total cash needed for closing.
Full answer
Down payment rules vary based on the price, the type of property, and whether the mortgage is insured or conventional. We confirm the exact minimum and outline the full cash needed for closing so your purchase stays stress free.
How do interest rates affect what I can afford
Rates change the monthly payment and qualification amount, so we model a few scenarios to keep your budget comfortable.
Full answer
Rates impact affordability through both payment size and lender qualification tests. We model multiple rate scenarios so your purchase remains safe even if rates shift before closing.
What costs should I expect beyond the down payment
Plan for closing costs such as legal fees, appraisal, title insurance, and tax or utility adjustments.
Full answer
Beyond the down payment, typical costs include legal fees, appraisal, title insurance, land transfer tax, and adjustments for property taxes or utilities. We provide a clear estimate so you can budget accurately.
When should I talk to a broker
As early as possible, ideally before you start viewing homes.
