Often times, potential buyers will send me a home they really love that just got listed. It’s beautiful, it’s spacious, in a great location… So we schedule a time to tour it. The buyers want to put in an offer right away, to which I reply, terrific! Have you received a pre-approval yet from a local lender? If not, especially in this market, submitting an offer with no pre-approval yields a resounding NO, Thank you! The next day we will check back with the seller’s and see that the house has already went under contract with a buyer with a pre-approval. This is why it is so important to be prepared with your pre-approval before you start looking for homes. I have a great team of lenders waiting to help you get started.
