3 Reason you should be pre-approved before looking for a home

Thinking about touring homes before getting pre-approved?
Let me save you some time (and heartbreak).

3 reasons why this is a BAD idea:

1. You Don’t Know Your Budget
Without pre-approval, you could be looking at homes way outside your price range.

2. Sellers Won’t Take You Seriously
No agent or seller wants to waste time with someone who isn’t financially ready.

3. You Lose Negotiation Power
Pre-approved buyers get better deals and close faster. Without it, you’re at a disadvantage.

Bonus Tip:
Pre-approval speeds up the closing process. More time = more chances to lose the deal.
