Day 1: The Pre-Approval Climb

You know that moment on a rollercoaster — the slow, steady click-click-click as you climb toward the first big drop?

That’s pre-approval.

It’s the part where you gather your financial docs, we pull your credit, calculate your numbers, and prepare you to be a serious buyer. There’s a little anticipation, maybe some nerves, and a whole lot of “are we there yet?” vibes.

But this climb is powerful. It sets you up for a smooth, confident house hunt. Sellers take you seriously, and your realtor knows exactly what price range to target. In a competitive market, pre-approval can be the difference between getting the home or missing out.

✅ Pro Tip:Don’t wait until you’ve found the dream home to start the pre-approval process. Do it early — and keep it updated if you’re shopping for a while.

Ready for tomorrow? We’re dropping into the fast-paced thrill of house hunting — hang on tight!
