Learn how to get pre‑approved and gather the paperwork you’ll need for a smooth mortgage experience.
Getting pre‑approved is an important first step in your home buying journey. It tells sellers you’re a serious buyer and helps you understand how much home you can afford. Pre‑approval also speeds up the loan process once you’ve found a property.
