Why Getting Pre-Approved for a Loan Should Be the First Step
28 Jun 2018 by Brian O'Connor

When shopping for a new home, there is an important distinction between being “pre-approved” vs. “pre-qualified”.  If you’re planning to get a mortgage for the purchase of real estate it’s important, to understand your “4-Cs” and how they come into play in making sure you are best positioned to move quickly in the home buying process.

 

I love helping people and I pride myself in being able to provide solutions that make memories.  Including, being able to anticipate challenges, educate clients, and continually pursue new learning opportunities for myself in order to best serve my clients (and by “client”, I hopefully mean YOU).

Although I am based in Austin, I also love working with clients looking for home in Pflugerville, Round Rock, Hutto, Taylor, and Cedar Park as well.  If you have questions, feel free to contact me.
