You're in the market for a new home. You go to a few open houses, check out
what's available in different suburbs, but if you find the right place and don't
have your loan organized, your dream home will probably end up somebody else's.
If you get pre-approval first, it will give you a competitive advantage. That
way when you find the right home, you can be the first to make an offer. A great
way to get pre-approval is to meet with a Mortgage Choice broker. They can talk
you through all the steps required by the lenders, like providing details of
your income, expenditure, assets and liabilities. The more detailed and accurate
the submission, the better the chances of you being pre-approved.
Mortgage Choice has a computer network linked to more than two dozen lenders,
meaning your application can be submitted electronically and the quicker it can
be approved.
