Today’s tip is for buyers: before you start looking at homes, talk to the bank and get PRE-APPROVED for a mortgage. This will let you know what price range you can look at so you won’t waste time looking at homes that you ultimately can’t afford. Also, if you do find that right home and make an offer, you can include your pre-approval letter with the offer which shows the sellers how serious you are.
