A crucial first step: Mortgage pre-approval

September 16, 2022

Mortgage pre-approval means a lender has reviewed your finances and, based on factors like your income, debt, and credit history, determined how much you’re qualified to borrow.

Being pre-approved (or pre-qualified) for a loan can give you clarity while planning your home buying budget, confidence in your ability to secure a loan, and helps sellers know your offer is serious.

TESTIMONIALS

"Russ was very helpful with respect to the hunt and purchase of my home in Green Valley. I valued his input as far recommending homes and all the additional info as far as resources in the area. He had to deal with me being in Pennsylvania and handling most of the work long distance. He reviewed the potential homes based on my wants/needs and continually send me lists and updates. By the time I got to Arizona on vacation we went thru the list, visited sites and made a choice in one day. I would gladly recommend Russ to any possible client in the future. Can’t thank him enough. "

"Russ helped us make our retirement dream a reality. We met Russ in July of 2018 when we made our first house hunting trip to Green Valley, AZ. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and presented us with a list of houses that met our criteria. He helped us through two failed sales on our ou-of-state home, and when our home sold after five months on the market Russ was ready to help us with our home purchase in AZ. He stayed on top of all the important dates, provided us with a wealth of information about the area and links to all the required utilities. Moving is very stressful but Russ took a lot of the stress away with his commitment to quality customer service."

"As Real Estate Brokers in Hawaii for more than 40 years, we know how important a good agent is when looking to buy property when you can’t be there. After seeing a property listed by Russ, we called and talked with him. He came across as very knowledgeable, competent, helpful, and friendly so we asked Russ to send us new listings for the type of property we were looking for, which he did. When a property came up that we liked we contacted Russ and had him arrange to show the place to our son who lives in Green Valley. Everything looked great so we had Russ write and present our offer, which was accepted. Russ followed through with everything required and kept us up to date each step through escrow and the final closing. We are very happy with how Russ treated us and made sure everything got done when it needed to be done. Every step of this purchase was handled by phone and email. We recommend Russ to everyone looking for a good agent to represent them in Real Estate."
