Get a Pre-approval
Before you begin searching for a new home, you need to determine how much you can afford. You may be able to afford more or even less than you think due to what the lender is willing to loan you based on your income and the amount of down payment you have.
It is crucial to take the first step in the buying process and this is finding a trusty mortgage broker that can walk you through the steps of the buying process. At Effective Mortgage Company we will help you decipher between what you can afford and what you are willing to pay. After you've secured a lender to work with and have your pre-approval in hand it's time to look for an agent to help you find your dream home. We can help! If you don't have an agent in mind already we might be able to help you find one. Find an AGENTBuying your house is likely one of the biggest investments
you’ll make. The research should be an exciting and enjoyable journey. But it
could also be stressful and hard if you are not informed or guided accurately
through the process. Once Effective Mortgage Company has issued a pre-approval it is important you retain an experienced and knowledgeable

a lot online, but you won’t hear the freeway noise, you won’t see how close the
