Key Steps for First-Time Homebuyers

Step 1

Mortgage Pre-Approval – Know Your Budget

Getting pre-approved is the first major step in your home-buying journey. By sharing your financial details (income, savings, debt) with a lender, you’ll gain a clear picture of:

  • Your Budget – Know what price range to search in.

  • Loan Options – Explore financing programs that fit your needs.

  • Monthly Payments – Understand what to expect for mortgage costs.

  • Down Payment & Closing Costs – Plan ahead for upfront expenses.

Don’t have a lender? I can refer you to trusted, reputable mortgage professionals.
