Why You Should Always Get Preapproved First

Thinking about buying your first home?
Here’s one piece of advice I give every single buyer: Get preapproved before you tour homes.

It’s not just about knowing your price range—it’s about being ready when the right home hits the market. In this competitive Central Ohio market, the buyers who win are the ones who come prepared.

Unless you’re paying cash, a preapproval is the key that unlocks the door to serious home shopping. Without it, most sellers (and agents) won’t even let you schedule a tour.
