A Buyers Guide to Buying a Home - Getting a Loan


By now you should be well into your home search. If you haven't already been pre-approved for a loan, now is the time. Pre-approval lets you know in advance how much you can afford to spend, gives you more negotiating power because you have financing in place and can save you money by locking in an interest rate early in the buying process.

Getting a loan to buy a house is now easier than ever. You can actually receive loan approval in as little as four minutes. No money for a down payment? Poor credit? A first-time home buyer? No matter what your needs are, there are hundreds of loan products available to suit most financial situations.
