Charlotte Home Buyers Guide Part 3 – Lending Tips

Get Pre-Approved Prior To Even Shopping for Charlotte NC Real Estate

checklist for lender when buying a Charlotte home for saleThe steps to purchasing your new home in Charlotte NC are imperative to follow for a stress-free transaction.  The first, defining your goals, is something that you’ll do prior to contacting anyone to assist you.  Once you’ve established your goals, contacting a Realtor® or a lender is next.  If you don’t already have a trusted lender, most active Charlotte real estate agents can recommend a qualified lender, who you should consult before ever beginning your Charlotte home search.

When you consult with a lender, you will quickly know the amount of mortgage for which you’ll qualify.  Be sure to get a mortgage commitment in writing from your lender.  This important step not only lessens your stress of  ’wondering’ whether or not you’ll qualify but, when you present your offer on your Charlotte NC dream home, you’ll be telling sellers that you are a serious prospect.

Depending upon market conditions, a seller may lean towards a less ‘conditional’ Offer.  You’ll have less negotiating power if you have to wait for mortgage approval.  Strengthen your Offer with a pre-approval!  If you don’t have a mortgage pre-approval prior to placing an Offer on your Charlotte dream home, you stand to lose power and money in the negotiating process.

Banks and financial institutions have developed many specialty programs for home buyers, whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned home buyer.  When you review your needs and objectives with a lending officer, you’ll ease the process not only in less time and stress but, can save you thousands in your negotiations.

What type of Charlotte NC lender/banker is right for you?  If you need help or would like a list of lenders, please contact us; we’re happy to help.
