Increased Bargaining Power
A pre-approval letter shows sellers that you're a serious buyer with the financial backing to make an offer. This can give you a competitive edge in a hot real estate market.
Clear Budget Understanding
Knowing exactly how much you can borrow helps you narrow down your property search and ensures you only look at homes within your price range, saving you time and effort.
Faster Closing Process
Pre-approval can speed up the closing process once you find your dream home. With your finances already reviewed and approved, you'll be one step closer to finalizing your purchase.
Eligibility for SODL's Rebate Program
Remember, to qualify for SODL's exclusive rebate program, you need to be pre-approved for a mortgage before scheduling any showings. This ensures a smooth and efficient home buying experience.
Freedom to Choose Your Lender
While we offer support and competitive rates through our preferred lenders, you are welcome to use any lender you'd like. Your pre-approval will still be valid, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.
