3 good reasons to start your home search with a mortgage pre-approval

Here are three great reasons to start your home search with a mortgage pre-approval.

1. A mortgage pre-approval helps you focus your search on homes that you can afford.
2. A pre-approval adds more weight to your offer to purchase, and helps you in the event that other buyers are competing for the same home.
3. A pre-approval helps you move through the financing contingency in your offer to purchase more quickly.

The UW Credit Union does a nice job explaining the mortgage pre-approval process in this article. You'll find it on the buying real estate page at DaneCountyMarket.com.
