The Mortgage Pre-Approval Process: John Antle Can Help
Before you start house hunting, contact John Antle to make sure you can get pre-approved for the mortgage amount you need. Even if you have an acceptable credit report, an established credit history and healthy bank accounts, getting mortgage pre-qualification is always recommended.
How Does a Pre-Approved Mortgage Help?
Getting mortgage pre-approval confirms three central elements:
The maximum home price you can afford
The monthly mortgage payment associated with this purchase price
The interest rate and terms for your new mortgage
By obtaining mortgage pre-approval, you gain valuable insights for your home buying process. It helps you discover the maximum affordable home price, allowing for a more efficient search. You also receive an estimated monthly mortgage payment to ensure it fits your budget. Furthermore, you’ll learn the interest rate and terms, enabling you to evaluate borrowing costs and make informed decisions.
Mortgage pre-approval strengthens your position as a serious buyer, boosting your negotiating power. Don’t wait, start the process today and unlock the possibilities of homeownership. Connect with John Antle for personalized guidance and support.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Approved Mortgage Loans
What is the cost for mortgage pre-approval?
Both the advice and pre-approved mortgage you will receive is free of charge.
What terms are available for my pre-approved mortgage?
You may choose pre-approved mortgage terms ranging from six months to 10 years.
If I apply for a pre-approved mortgage, am I committed to that lender?
Your John Antle Mortgage Specialist will ensure that you get pre-approved for a mortgage with the best lender and mortgage rate for your situation. If you decide to change mortgage lenders, your mortgage broker will help you with this adjustment.
Will CMHC or Genworth also review my pre-approved mortgage?
This is a common question. Once the real estate contract is negotiated and signed by both the seller and buyer, your information, along with the details of the home you are purchasing, will be reviewed by either CMHC or Genworth. These are two popular options for default insurance. Even if you have a pre-approved mortgage, your real estate professional will include a ‘subject to financing’ clause in the contract. This is because mortgage default insurance is mandatory for any purchases in Canada with a down payment of less than 20% of the purchase price.”
How long is the pre-approved mortgage guaranteed for?
The interest rate and pre-approved mortgage will normally be guaranteed for a minimum of 120 days. If interest rates rise during this time, the lender will honour the lower rate. If the interest rates decrease during this time, the lender will also adjust accordingly.
If I have been pre-approved for a mortgage, will this help my real estate agent?
Yes, having a pre-approved mortgage can greatly benefit real estate agents as it allows them to concentrate on the purchase price that you have already been approved for, thereby streamlining the negotiation process. However, it’s crucial to understand that your pre-approved mortgage will still require a final review from your lender to obtain final mortgage approval. During this review, the lender will take into account various factors, including the property you intend to purchase and other monthly expenses associated with it, such as property taxes or condo fees.
