Pre-approved Home Mortgage Loan Provides Buyers Leverage
By Dan Wright
It happens all the time. One day people are overjoyed that they found the perfect new home for their family and they can barely contain their excitement over the prospects of moving to their new digs. Then the next day things seem to crumble as they are faced with the hassles and paperwork needed to get their home mortgage loan. A better approach is to take care of the financing arrangements first, then start your home shopping.
Getting your mortgage loan pre-approved can be a big benefit to you in a number of ways. First of all, if your mortgage home loan is already approved before you start looking for a home, then you will know your price range. This can end up saving you an enormous amount of time, not to mention heartache. It can be devastating to find a wonderful home that you have fallen in love with after weeks or months of searching, only to find out after waiting to be approved that you don't qualify for the mortgage home financing. In addition to saving you time by narrowing your options and avoiding such heart-wrenching situations, you will also find that you have a great level of confidence when your home mortgage loan has been pre-approved.
Everyone operates better having a clearer understanding of their situation and this applies when it comes to home financing as well. This leads to being able to enjoy a better relationship with a real estate buyer's agent. When you have pre-approval on your mortgage loan, a buyer's agent will be much more willing to work with you. Houses are listed by agents that represent the seller of the home, and they look out for the best interests of the seller only, by contract and by law. But you can engage a buyer's agent to help you sort through the real estate market and work in your best interest. Because your buyer's agent only gets paid if you end up buying a house

they sold to you, they are willing to work hard to help you. And, if you come to them pre-approved for your mortgage loan, then they know the chances of you closing on a new home are very high, so they will be more interested in working with you than someone who has not lined up their home financing yet. When your agent runs across a great deal or hears about a new listing that hasn't even hit the market yet, who do you think they will call first? Probably the person who has their mortgage loan package already sewn up and ready to roll. And, that leads to the most powerful reason to get pre-approved for your mortgage loan.
When a seller is faced with multiple offers and your offer clearly states that your mortgage home loan is already approved and that you can close on the deal very quickly, you stand out and are more likely to have the seller accept your offer, even if it is slightly lower than the others. Obtaining the home mortgage loan before you begin your home search is an approach that makes good sense on every level and that helps to create win-win situations. Not only will you save time and simplify your search, but you will be able to avoid frustrations and just enjoy the complete process and give yourself an extra bargaining chip to boot.
