The Home Buying Process
Before You Buy
Before that initial appointment with the agent, request the agent to provide a few loan officers with their contact information so you may talk with them and see who best meets your needs, ask them similar questions and more about the loan programs they offer. Until you decide which loan officer you wish to work with, don’t give them your birth date or social security number, you don’t want every loan officer running your credit until you decide who you want to do your loan. Once you’ve decided, ask them to provide a prequalification and run your credit. This will help you and the agent when looking at properties. A prequalified buyer is gold and helps your ability to get a contract accepted by a seller if other offers are presented on the same home. It will also let you know if your expectations are realistic for the home you want.
